I already installed the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm and NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.rh73up_2.4.18_10.i386.rpm RPM's on my Redhat 8 (psyche) system. But of course it dident work right and i now X windows doesnt work. How can i do a uninstall of these files and get back to using my old driver so that everything will work again. I tried 'rpm -e package' from the command line but it said that they were not installed. Im not shure where they were installed to so maybe i just wasnt in the correct directory. once i get everything back to normal i'll try it again after reading one of the how-to's here. thank you very much.

Do the following:

rpm --erase <your package here>

You can do a
rpm -qa | grep NVIDIA
to find out what you have installed

rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX
rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel
(not entire rpm filename)

You'll then need to edit the XF86Config-4 file.
