Yep. I know.. but although the fileC remains it has no effect. This affects mostly new drivers which aren't supported in the stock distro (e.g., Mach64). The orginal fileA and fileB have no knowledge of the fileC so it won't be used. > Possibly, you can say that the stray file doesn't matter, since if they > didn't have it before, it won't be used in the config, but how about: > > for FILE in *o; do > if [ -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/$FILE ]; then > mv -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/$FILE $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.$FILE >& > $LOGFILE > rm -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.n.$FILE >& $LOGFILE > else > rm -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.$FILE >& $LOGFILE > touch $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.n.$FILE >& $LOGFILE > fi > done > > Then, to restore, check for the existence of dri-old.n.$FILE and remove > the installed version if that exists... > > for FILE in *o; do > if [ -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.$FILE ]; then > mv -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.$FILE $XF86_DRV_DIR/$FILE >& > $LOGFILE > else > if [ -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.n.$FILE ]; then > rm -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/$FILE >& $LOGFILE > # Clean up touch fileE > rm -f $XF86_DRV_DIR/dri-old.n.$FILE >& LOGFILE > fi > fi > done > Yes, this would do it. When I have some time I'll use your ideas to make an "install" and "uninstall" bash functions to be reused across the install.sh script. Then I'll also try to address another problem which is to avoid that two consequtive installs irreversibily remove the original drivers...
