Well if that's true, I've got a problem... I can't use Nouveau too
much (that's why I switched to nVidia blob actualy) because it
literally burns my graphic card (over 120°C, inducing random freezes
etc...)

On a forum, someone tipped me that maybe the nVidia blob's
installation blacklisted the Nouveau drivers.
