lsmod | grep nouveau

outputs nothing. So, I suppose I don't have compatibility with Nouveau.

My question here is what's the purpose of keeping compatibility with
Nouveau. To switch back and forth from Nvidia to Nouveau?

I have:

$ locate initramfs
/boot/initramfs-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64.img
/boot/initramfs-2.6.32.9-67.fc12.x86_64.img
/boot/initramfs-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64.img

$ locate /boot/initrd
/boot/initrd-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64-nouveau.img

I don't have this in grub.conf

So, from what I gather, my configuration shouldn't prevent the Nvidia
driver from working in any way, correct?

Thanks for your help!
