Disable "nouveau" in Fedora 13/15 - For install CUDA Driver

Refer to: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-nvidia.html
Due to the inclusion of nouveau in Fedora 11 and newer, it must first be disabled. After this step, a reboot is recommended.

Fedora 12 and Fedora 13

Solution A:

1. Edit (as root): /boot/grub/grub.conf

To the end of the default kernel (usually the first), edit the kernel line.

Add the following: rdblacklist=nouveau to the end of the kernel line.

2. Added "blacklist nouveau" at the end of "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf".

# Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it.

# Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,

# no matter which driver happens to get probed first. Sometimes user

# mode tools can also control driver binding.

# Syntax: driver name alone (without any spaces) on a line. Other

# lines are ignored.
