If I run "apt-cache search nvidia", I get a LOT of packages.  How do I 
know what to uninstall and not do major damage?  An example of some of 
the packages listed:

nvidia-173-modaliases
nvidia-180-modaliases
nvidia-71-modaliases
nvidia-96-modaliases
nvidia-common
nvidia-settings
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
nvidia-glx-173
nvidia-glx-180

Thanks,
Harry
