I recently switched to an Nvidia 6200w/256MB RAM from an ATI FireGL X1. I didn't do a clean system install, and am wondering if this may be the cause of some problems I'm having with the Nvidia. I can't get the NVAGP to be used even though I have NVAGP "1" in my xorg.conf. Dmesg shows that the AGPGART is being utilized instead. I simply used YUM to pull down one of the 8xxx versions of the Nvidia driver, and I am thinking that by not "uninstalling" the old ATI drivers, that I may have caused the YUM install to fail to copy over the NVAGP files correctly. Is this a possibility? Is there an easy way to get the ATI junk uninstalled if I used the Binary download from ati.com? Should I try using the Nvidia binary .run file and see if that fixes it?

Re-installing wouldn't be too bad actually. I'm thinking that if I simply backed up my mythconverg database before doing so, that I should be able to keep my old recordings showing up correctly, right? Could I make a switch in versions of Linux and still keep the recording export out of mySQL? I was thinking about giving Kubuntu a shot. Thanks, -Adam
