I suspect that this dkms | thingy does it like my script in that it only builds the kernel module, and | if the libraries don't match, it will error out with messages resembling | those. OK fine, I understand now, it is not exactly what you are saying: before installing dkms, I used to build the driver from nvidia package.run. Though I uninstalled this from uninstall command line, some libraries from the previous install remain. One more question: shall I remove these libraries without any precautions and restart X, or do I have to be carefull to something? The install is like this: from NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run, remain: /usr/lib/libGL.so.169.07 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.169.07 /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.169.07 /usr/lib64/libGL.so.169.07 /usr/lib64/libGLcore.so.169.07 /usr/lib64/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.169.07 (BTW I don't know why 32 bits libraries were built?!) from dkms, the whole library stuff is in /usr/lib64/nvidia/, do the driver will find them without modifying some conf file somewhere?
