OK fine, I understand now, it is not exactly what you are saying: before
installing dkms, I used to build the driver from nvidia package.run.
Though I uninstalled this from uninstall command line, some libraries
from the previous install remain.

One more question: shall I remove these libraries without any
precautions and restart X, or do I have to be carefull to something?

The install is like this:

from NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run, remain:

/usr/lib/libGL.so.169.07
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.169.07
/usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.169.07
/usr/lib64/libGL.so.169.07
/usr/lib64/libGLcore.so.169.07
/usr/lib64/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.169.07

(BTW I don't know why 32 bits libraries were built?!)

from dkms, the whole library stuff is in /usr/lib64/nvidia/, do the
driver will find them without modifying some conf file somewhere?


Thanks for advices.
