Uninstall first ?

[mrmoray]

I mistakenly installed the AMD64 drivers on my machine.... an Athlon 1.33 ghz. They actually work, although a couple things seem to be quirky. I want to go back and install the appropriate IA32 drivers. Do I need to uninstall the AMD64 stuff first? If so, what's the best way to do that cleanly?

Did you use RPMs, or tarballs?

rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX NVIDIA_kernel should get rid of them if you used RPMs.

Deleting /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o, along with all the files that NVIDIA_GLX installed (basically only /usr/lib/libGL.so* and /usr/lib/libGLcore.so*, along with /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/libglx.so.* -- the others will be recreated when you reinstall the correct version) should get rid of the package if you installed from tarballs.

I'm not positive whether it works with the AMD64 drivers or not, but the nvidia-installer program does try to get rid of old IA32 versions of the driver.

I believe I used RPMs but it was quite a while ago. I'll give that try first, thanks!
