Hm, that's not nice. But OTOH the driver releases have been more
stable in the last years, and downgrading to a previous driver isn't
that difficult anymore either due to yum/smart/apt improvements in
this time.
So maybe its time to drop the multiple drivers. (The concurrent
installs of them that is)
Thoughts anyone?
As a FYI.
I just tested the following structure which works OK.
In /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-04-06 20:40 nvidia-190.53_drv.so ->
nvidia-graphics-190.53_drv.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2010-04-06 20:40 nvidia-195.36.15_drv.so
-> nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2010-04-06 20:40 nvidia_drv.so ->
nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4287708 2010-01-03 13:31
nvidia-graphics-190.53_drv.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5278272 2010-03-28 02:02
nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so
i.e.
change nvidia-graphics-190.53/nvidia_drv.so to
nvidia-graphics-190.53_drv.so
change nvidia-graphics-195.36.15/nvidia_drv.so to
nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so
and ln "the one to use" to nvidia_drv.so
Auric.
(as this works would indicate it is indeed looking in sub-dirs)

Hi,
So just to be clear am I in danger if I upgrade my Nvidia driver or Kernel now until this
is fixed?
