+# Disable autoloading of i915 driver so that the console output is
+# not destroyed during boot for systems with the monitor on an nvidia card.
+# Loading the i915 driver seems to disable the console output to the
+# nvida card, possibly switching it to the intel card.
+#
+# When the console is free, we probe the driver manually, so we can use its other
+# functionalities like audio.
+#
+# For yet unknown reasons, `blacklist i915` does not work so use `install i915 /bin/true` for now.
