Hello, last driver seems create a problem on my linuxbox, I want try a previous driver. I see a lot of NVIDIA-XXX.RUN files on /usr/src/NVIDIA (I'm not writing by my home PC, the path could be different). How to instruct sgfxi to re-build kernel module from one of this local .RUN files? Thanks a lot

Look at the sgfxi -h help menu, that's always a good place to start before asking for support.

sgfxi stores the run files, and will use any stored one that corresponds to the driver version it's been asked to use.



sgfxi -L d

shows you the drivers that have support in sgfxi currently.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply.
Yes You are right, I checked the help and I found the "-o" option. What I did wrong was try to use driver 352.21 that I saw in local download folder. Today first I use Your suggestion on list the good available option drivers (-Ld) and then I try this command with 352.41 and it works :-) .

I take the opportunity to say that driver 355.11 with my Nvidia GeForce GT 440 does not work fine.

All the best

If you have issues with a specific driver/ card combination, there is only ONE place it will do any good to say that:

devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/

devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/522835/linux/if-you-have-a-problem-please-read-this-first/

Make sure to read the second thread for instructions on how to file a bug report with nvidia. It's very easy, and only takes a few minutes.

This is the only place you can actually help yourself and other users if you have issues with new drivers.
