I think there is an --uninstall option. It should be there in the README anyway. > In fact, the only reason I didn't go with the Debian package to > start with is because I wasn't sure which package to install (there > are several nvidia-* packages and it's not clear which one is needed > for any particular system). First off, it is better that you use the only the debian packages. You need just two packages -- nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-glx[1]. I use module-assistant to compile the nvidia.ko kernel module. You'll need the kernel source tree matching your kernel[2]. The tree has to be configured -- make-kpkg configure should be enough. There is a README in the nvidia-kernel-source package. Personally, I do it as: $ m-a update $ m-a build nvidia-kernel-source You get a deb package that you can install $ sudo dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-<version>.deb Check http://nvnews.net for more information. Footnotes: [1] And the nvidia-glx-dev package if you building OpenGL programs. Take all three from experimental. [2] If you are running a debian kernel linux-tree-<version> matching your running kernel should be enough. -- Alok Alea iacta est.
