You forgot one major step after kdm stop:

sudo rmmod nvidia

*sigh*
180.25 came out, and I'm still waiting for 180.22 to hit the openSUSE repos. Ah well. It's not like anything terribly new and exciting is in store for my Geforce 6200 with these new releases.

Is it just me, or does the speed of Nvidia's releases seemed to have picked up?

From Nvidia 180.18 I can no longer install the drivers. X wont start.

My normal way of installing is:
Ctrl + Alt + F1
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-XXX.XX-pkg1.run
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start

I always installed the Nvidia drivers this way, and never had any problems.

Someone suggested to remove anything related to Nvidia (nvidia-kernel-common) from synaptic, but that will also remove linux-generic, linux-restricted-modules- 2.6.24-23-generic, linux-restricted-modules-generic.

Doesn't that makes other things stop working depending on those packages? I don't dare to remove nvidia-kernel-common as I expect other things might stop working.

Anyone has a suggestion?

Running Kubuntu 8.04 btw.

Any one tested hibernate/suspend on this version?
On 180.22 it was messed up.

I can suspend then resume but i can not resume after hibernation.

Please Nvidia, write a driver for my HD4870 *puppy dawg eyes*

works fine with both versions for me, and the changelog mentions fixes in this area, so if it was broken for you its worth trying again with 180.25

As soon as I get me hands on me laptop I will try it and give some feedback.
