Wmi 36864 4 dell_smbios,dell_wmi_descriptor,mxm_wmi,nouveauĭrm 630784 10 drm_kms_helper,drm_ttm_helper,ttm,nouveau This is the output of lsmod | grep -i nouveau: nouveau 2400256 12 In particular, now I am running KDE “normally”, without xorg-x11-drv-nouveau or any other RPM package matching nouveau, yet with nouveau working. Yet, after the reboot… same thing! Nouveau is still there, and modinfo -F version nvidia still gives me that there is no module nvidia. So, I did a sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau and rebooted.
