Always, loads of run.
I actually do like Nouveau but it does not play well with Firefox, et. al, and
KDE. If this has been fixed, someone please inform me.
Failing that, I use the 304xx legacy driver.
Installs without a hitch.
xorg.conf is deprecated. Live without it.
I need to blacklist Nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d -- installation provides an
nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf to put there.
Voile!
