Code:

rdblacklist=nouveau

Then in the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file, add this line:

Code:

blacklist nouveau

You will then need to reboot.

After reboot you should go here:

Download the appropriate driver for your adapter and architecture. Follow the instructions for installation. An additional reboot may be required.

hi mark54g,
Thanks for reply.
I did all steps you mentioned ( I didn't modprobe.conf file so I created it myself).
I downloaded driver. When I started to installed it first complaint that I don't have gcc. I installed gcc. After that it started to complain that it needs kernel sources ... but apparently I don't have it. Didn't think that just installing driver would request kernel sources ... anyway currently thinking to get those sources.
Thanks,
