Boot with nouveau.modeset=0 parameter or create a file in
/etc/modprobe.d that blacklists the nouveau module (see
modprobe.conf(5) for details). Create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf or modify
the existing one to use the nv driver:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Section "Device"
Identifier "n"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
