Yes, as long as the driver kernel module did *not* change with the
1-click install of the nvidia driver, then in addition to rcxdm restart,
there would be a need to rmmod <old.ko> modprobe <new.ko> and a depmod
thrown in for good measure in order to avoid some serious conflicts. My
laptop has ATI so I used to scary driver conflicts, nvidia may be
different, but a reboot is often simpler that sorting out module conflicts.
