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.
