Jan, Do what most of us appear to have done which is to throw the new 4496 nVidia in the toilet, where they belong, and use the previous version (4363).
After all the troubles 4496 has caused to people one would have thought that nVidia would have pulled there finger out and fixed the driver but No, not a stir out of them. I check their site every night but there isn't even an acknowledgement that there may be problem with the 4496 driver.
Save your sanity- go back to the 4363 driver.
Hi Basil, It seems that I should follow your advice. I hope you can help me with one more question though : Must I first de-install 4496 and then install 4363 by running NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run ? Or can I just install 4363 right away without de-install of 4496 ?
Also : can I just do the .run, or must I also preceed this with the commands make cloneconfig && make dep export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes like required for 4496 ?
TIA and greetings,
Hi Jan, Yes, uninstall 4496 first, and you will have to make cloneconfig dep (no need for the export ... part though) to be able to install 4363. After you have done the previous then just sh NVIDIA.....run and 4363 will be installed. Cheers. -- If logic ruled the World, men would ride side-saddle.
