No. no. First purge all nvidia packages. Then go to the nvidia site and download the installer. It is an executable named NViidia-some-version.run. Choose the correct one for your architecture. After download make it executable and execute it. Note, that there may no olf kernel-module be loaded. (If so, unload it: rmmod nvidia) The other way is to use the nvidia-kernel-dkms packages. I prefer these before the already built packages. However, sometimes it fails to build, so I take the NVidia****.run as substitute. Try both solutions. Maybe one will work. Happy hacking! Hans
