And I had to tell the whole story too, before `sudo modprobe -r nvidia'
I did
$ lsmod | grep nvidia
to see what modules may use nvidia. If there are such modules I have to
unload them first and nvidia after.

Of course all this will work if modules can be unloaded, sometimes
`modprobe' "don't" work, then you have to reboot.
