As I run with the evil Nvidia binaries every once in a while I have to reinstall. Say if there's an Xorg update, as there was this morning. I can still boot to a pretty desktop but Nexuiz won't run. Well, it's a simple thing to fix it up.
If you run gdm or the like you'll have to stop it. Ctrl+Alt+F1, login as root, run /etc/init.d/gdm stop (or gdm3, whatever you have). Now you can work the nvidia drivers.
With your display manager off so X isn't running it's a snap to get your fancy 3d game back. Here is what I do in order:
- # nvidia-installer --uninstall
- # cd ~/downloads/multimedia/nvidia
- # ls
- # rm /usr/bin/gcc
- # ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.3 /usr/bin/gcc
- # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run
I do not allow it to mess with xorg.conf.
Now you can relink gcc-4.4 to /usr/bin/gcc and then restart gdm. Done deal. Took, what? 1 minute?
Happy Sunday
