Hi,
first of all , is the present driver compiled into the kernel or as a module?
If first option, you will need to compile a new kernel eithout the driver.
if second, easy, goto /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/drivers and delete
the module
which will be there somewhere.
Then modify ( delete) the entry in your modules.conf or
modprobe.conf, whichever is applicable.
then you can go ahead with the nvidia driver install.
regards,
Joy.M.monteiro
