You may have needed to remove the old module first. I usually do this: |
11 |
|
12 |
rmmod nvidia # that removes the old one. |
13 |
modules-update # updates the modules, may not be needed though. |
14 |
modprobe nvidia # loads the new one back up |
15 |
|
16 |
Then restart X. That has always worked for me without needing to reboot. |

Your mileage may vary. |
