re-send as the reply seems to have got stripped and mashed on it's way.
:/
You have the driver installed and thats Ok - Don't worry about reboots
etc.! :) The need for removing the Mesa GL package is due to a file
conflict which leads to GL related issues. The easiest way to see the
problem is to fire up glxgears and then exit and try and fire it up
again and watch the blank viewport. :( Removing the Mesa GL package
prior to installing/re-installing the nvidia drivers removes the chance
of this problem happening.
