downgrade video drivers

Hello,

I'm having some problems with the video driver after installing nvidia driver as said here:

http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debia...-dri-howto.txt

I installed the latest driver (6629) but I've seen somewhere that an old driver (6111) usually works better than the new one.

How can I uninstall the new one and install the old one? Any clues?

Thanks a lot!!

Look, video drivers load with either XF86Config-4 or Xorg.conf. So, reinstall will replace the current and c'est tout!
