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. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
