I have a Nforce2 chipset motherboard with all the NVIDIA drivers, its quite nice. and on that motherboard i have a piece of crap NVIDIA geforce MX440 (the PCI version)

anyways I'v installed the Nvidia graphics drivers so I can play quake 3, and hopefully UT2004 when it hits the shelves on the 15'th. Now for my question;

I'm going to be getting a Radeon 9800 pro AGP card prety soon. is there a way to uninstall the NVIDIA graphics drivers? do I even need to uninstall them? dont they come with some libraries that are card specific, and wouldnt that hinder my instalation of the radeon drivers if I dont uninstall them?

Well, I didn't bother to uninstall ATI's graphics drivers when I switched to an NVidia card, and that went over fine. I would have thought their custom libraries and things their driver replaced would have caused problems, but they didn't.
But, eh, it couldn't hurt, you know? I think you should be able to just type 'nvidia-installer --uninstall' and it should try to get rid of it.

[edit] Ah, almost forgot. The reason I switched from my radeon to a geforce was that ATI's graphics drivers were NOT happy with my NForce2's agp slot, and vice versa. After a couple months of frustration, I still couldn't get 3d acceleration to work, which is the whole point, so I gave up and switched cards. Apparently other people have gotten it to work, though. Anyway, good luck.

I have three questions about your driver problems.

1. what version of the linux kernel were you on at the time? and did it have the agpgart patch applied to it?

2. who manufactured your MoBo and vid card?

4. did you have these problems in windows? (assuming you even use windows)
