Read what you posted carefully: NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine was not called for 1 device(s). NVRM: This can occur when a driver such as _nouveau_ root@condor:/usr/src/linux(52)# lsmod | grep no nouveau 399623 1 ttm 52802 1 nouveau you're trying to use "nvidia" and "nouveau" at the same time... Unload nouveau and load nvidia.
