downgrading Nvidia driver 12.04

[katrina warsaw]

¡Hello!
I think that would be better to uninstall the driver and then install de
old. And when you uninstall the driver , uninstall it completely with
config files included. Probably when you uninstall you'll need to reboot.
Reboot and then install the old driver.
For installing / uninstalling I would use synaptic (graphic mode) or
dselect (text mode)

For more information or possibilities consult man pages about dpkg and apt

¡Cheers!
