Hi, Nezmer.
I didn't understand what you mean. Did you suggest to uninstall the official nvidia package before all the instructions you cite? I think that would not afect the compilation, because the new package is built on a fakeroot environment, isolated from the real system. But I may have misunderstood you.
I don't think it would affect the compilation either. But not for the reason you give. Simply because most packages are not compiled against themselves.
BTW fakeroot is not an environment isolated from the real system - man fakeroot fakeroot - run a command in an environment faking root privileges for file manipulation
Redshift, Dieter, Nathan, Xavier, all Thanks for you help pointing me in the right direction for the downgrade. I report back with the results. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
