Try useing:

Code:

rm -r &#123;dirname&#125; removes direcetory and everything in it

Use this to remove any of the drivers direcetories.

or maybe with the drivers source:

Code:

 ./configure
make
make uninstall

You don't have to uninstall it. Just change the Driver option from 'nvidia' to 'nv' in you X configuration file.

Yes, i tried to change the X configuring file, but the Driver "nvidia" line didn't appear over there. Let me recheck that and i'll get back to you.

I doesn't appear there, if you want, i can paste my entire file so maybe you can check it out. It's a bit long but i'm sure it helps. It's the etc/X11/XF86Config file. Umm, there's a line in the log file, /var/log/XFree86.0.log, that says:

Code:

&#40;==&#41; Using config file&#58; "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"

I guess this is the file i have to edit changing Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia". I am so confused. Here's the link from nvidia that i am reading to set this up.ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...629/README.txt

I FIXED IT!!! THANKS EVERYBODY :P
