Everything is ok with "nvidia-dkms".

So you have the nvidiafb module loaded? If so, blacklist it.
Comment by Neros (Neros) - Wednesday, 21 February 2018, 03:38 GMT
Yes nvidiafb is loaded but it should be blacklisted with nvidia.conf in /usr/lib/modprobe.d from the "nvidia" package but it has no effect. (nvidiafb is blacklisted with "nvidia-dkms" and it's not loaded)

Hang on, I don't quite understand what you think should be changed in which package to fix this.
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Thursday, 22 February 2018, 17:58 GMT
Sven, the package already blacklists the nouveau module, it should probably blacklist the nvidiafb module as well.

Wait, as of 390.25-11, it already does. Neros, are you sure you booted with that package installed?
Comment by Neros (Neros) - Friday, 23 February 2018, 00:52 GMT
Doug, yes of course, it was just an update after all. I even reinstall everything about nvidia/bbswitch/bumblebee to be sure but no luck and the only solution was to install "nvidia-dkms".

So if nvidiafb was already blacklisted, how the hell did you have it loaded?
