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. |
