You can safely compile a kernel without nouveau, your Nvidia card will not be used at all since neither Linux nor the proprietary nvidia driver does support optimus at this time (and frankly, I won't buy any further machines with opticrap). So having nouveau compiled and loaded seems like a waste of ressources in this case. For me it's important to have nouveau working, because I try/use Bumblebee and optirun: http://bumblebee-project.org/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bumblebee -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
