Nouveau driver not working after removing Nvidia 470.256.02 on current
by camorri from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6Q2F8)
I have always had difficulty with the Nouveau driver, unless I never install a Nvidia driver for my card. Right now, 470.256.02 kernel fails to build, so while I wait for fix for that, I would like to be able to use the nouveau driver.
What I have done.
First of all I installed the nvidia driver from the blob, and I have been doing that for a long time with success. It will not build on 6.10.5 kernel. I had it running on 6.9.12, after the last kernel upgrade, no dice.
I removed the failed install with the command nvidia-installer with the uninstal option. That worked.
I removed the blacklist for nouveau.
My card is GeForce GT 710, runs well on the 470 nvidia driver on 15.0. I dual boot 15 and current. Installs are on separate drives.
I have re-installed the x series of files from my local repo. I wanted t o refresh Xorg and the driver files, just incase there was something the Nvidia driver messed up. Still no success.
Here is the last part of xorg.0.log.

How do I fix this?
I did read through several posts regarding nouveau, however, they seemed old and not recent enough to be of any help.
I would like to know how to return to Nouveau when the next Nvidia driver and kernel do not get along.
