Uninstalling a previous nVidia module


Hi

This is a strange problem. I have an installation of FC4 that is my real workhorse and I have just updated to the latest kernel (2.6.16-2115). There is also an update nVidia driver module available for this kernel. However, when I try to install it through yum I get a failed dependency complaint about the driver for the 2.6.14 kernel, which I have deleted. I have tried to uninstall this previous module, but it refuses to do so.

Anyone know how I can get rid of the nvidia-glx for the 2.6.14 kernel so that I can install the new one?

Any help appreciated.

Bob

UPDATE: For some reason, I was not able to do it manually, but, using YUMEX, I was able to delete the old and install the new.
