--- Comment #2 from Felix Miata <mrmazda at earthlink.net> ---
How?
e.g. on Tumbleweed:
Nothing in /etc/mo*/ contains veau
Nothing in /etc/ is named *veau*
# lspci | grep -i vidia

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nouveau': No such device

How could it be blacklisted, and why does modprobe claim there is no such
device?
