Restoring nouveau drivers after installing nvidia drivers

To restore nouveau drivers after installing nvidia proprietary drivers use:

  1. Edit '/etc/grub/grub.conf' file and change 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to 'rdblacklist=nvidia'
  2. Edit files in '/etc/modprobe' folder and remove blacklisting of nouveau and add blacklisting for nvidia
  3. Rename '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.old' for backup purposes.
  4. Reboot the system and go into single mode.
  5. Change runlevel to 3 using 'init 3'
  6. Use 'xorg -configure' command to create 'xorg.conf.new" file in /root folder.
