Ubuntu

Going back to the default display driver

Asked by Jon Charge

I removed my Nvidia Card and plugged my monitor into the regular connector into the back of my tower. I want Ubuntu to now reconfigure my graphics driver to the default so that it does not start in low graphics mode constantly. Please advise.

if you run (in root recovery mode)

echo "blacklist nvidia" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

Then reboot, it will not be loaded and you will use the nouveau driver. You can also run:

echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

If you want to use the super reliable nv driver.

Can you help with this problem?
