Still having the issue I mentioned in #smxi, if I reboot I have to reinstall nvidia. Once I reinstall I can boot into X, if I reboot I get kicked back to console, only way to get X to start is to install nvidia yet again. xorg.conf is fine, it has the same settings since I first installed my nvidia card. No errors in xorg.0.log. But the kernel log shows:

This definitely looks like a logic error. Seems sgfxi is not removing the old kernel module file as it should. You are running: sgfxi -f to override the module build, right?

Again, this is an unfortunate glitch but it may be exposing a bug, I was expecting some bug to appear due to the huge number of core changes, and this may very well be the one.

Can you show this:
:: Code ::
find /lib/modules -type f -name "*nvidia.*o"
find /usr/src -type f -name "*nvidia.*o"
find /lib/modules -type f -name "*195.36.08*"
find /usr/lib -type f -name "*195.36.08*"


It looks to me like the override and cleanup is leaving some cruft behind. Or less likely, that the 190.53 driver installer is leaving behind 195.xx.xx components, which would surprise me.

can you use a paste site and paste /var/log/sgfxi/sgfxi.log again? I'm adding more logging here and there to try to find out why it's not removing the modules as it should be doing. The logs allow me to trace the actual script execution and some of the data that was processed.

I just came across a similar sounding thread on nvnews forums

:: Code ::
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
(EE) Failed to load module "wfb" (loader failed, 7)
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 190.53,
but this NVIDIA driver component has version 195.36.08.  Please make
sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
have the same version.

(EE) Mar 07 17:22:37 NVIDIA(0):     system's kernel log for additional error messages and
(EE) Mar 07 17:22:37 NVIDIA(0):     consult the NVIDIA README for details.
(EE) NVIDIA(0):  *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

and modules shown as this:

this sounds like the same exact issue.

This may be a bug in the 195.36.08 uninstaller possibly.
