Mageia forum

Hello, can I instal Mageia 4 without nouveau? I like option because i like to instal nvidia driver tha i tink is newer than the drifer from mageia nstaller disks.

Thank you.

Why don't you just install Mageia, then install nvidia driver afterwards and simply ignore nouveau?

Also you should be aware that there's currently no Mageia 4, currently that is cauldron: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Cauldron

Officially not 4 but it is a beta of this, and if I installed the driver of mageia sources, this is still older than the nvidia provided on its website, which is what have had to uninstall in order to install the one I want. I've done it on 3 of mageia version and for that I had to uninstall the nvidia driver that came on the installation disk, and with it kde software part as the "folder view" has been orphaned and I do not understand why, because it has nothing to do with the graphics drivers, and so some PROGRAMS more.

P.D: Are there any way to install a generic driver and once booted mageia can insalar which you want?

If you want newer drivers best use http://onse.fi/nvidia-mgabuild/ to convert the nvidia drivers into Mageia packages.
I don't get what you mean by your last question, that's what Mageia does. You can use e.g. the vesa driver for every graphics chip, and later install the driver you want.


For the orphan thing, read up on https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Removing_packages

I my last question i thin k that i refer to vesa drivers, this driver is a generic driver not from a manufacturer of a graphic card. and thank you for say me that there is a tool to make drivers with NVidia run files.
