If that doesn't work, make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf<br><br>then edit that file, find the 'Device' section, which will look something like this:<br><br>Section "Device"<br> Identifier "Videocard0"<br>
Driver "nvidia"<br> VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"<br> BoardName "GeForce 7100 GS"<br><br>EndSection<br><br><br>Change the 'driver' from "nvidia" to "nv" and see if that helps. It should revert you to the open source nv driver.<br>
<br>It's quite likely that the installe backed up this file before installing the driver so it might be worth looking for an xorg.conf.orig or similar.<br><br>Do not do this if you're uncomfortable working at the command line though.<br>

</div></div>So, maybe simply:<br>
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08.pkg1.run --uninstall<br>
I'll give it a go.<br>

Thanks<br>
