i always keep a kernel or two back. and i've been keeping the nvidia driver version that matches the kmdl for that kernel. if the kernel changes at the same time as the nvidia driver, and we can't keep multiple versions, there's no way to go back a kernel. i find that pretty disconcerting. i wonder if nvidia graphics switch could be set to mv the unused nvidia driver tree/subtree out where it's not a problem? and then swap them when one uses nvidia graphics switch to change to the/another version? john -- cleverly disguised as a responsible adult. _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list atrpms-users@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
