As said, I had similar problems (with some older versions) but have a stable installation with 6629 (I did not upgrade after that). I suggest that you also try an older version (such as 6629) and if that doesn't work try another stable one, being 5328.
I do have both of these. Is it possible to back install by running the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run shell script and then sax2?? I have only used this to upgrade to newer forms of the drivers .. will it work
backwards? Yes, that should be no problem. The script first uninstalls the existing driver (whatever it is) and then install the one you are installing. BTW ; the only changes I made in /etc/X11/XF86Config section Device were : replace Driver “nv” by Driver “nvidia” add Option ”NvAGP” “0” Good luck,
To uninstall the nVidia driver you must do "init 3" when logged on as root (ALT-CTRL-F2) then issue the command nvidia-installer --uninstall and this will remove the driver. And unless you immediately install a new driver then don't forget to reset in the XF86Config section the driver from "nvidia" back to "nv" otherwise .... :-) .
