linux-ck with nvidia-ck

I just installed linux-ck and nvidia-ck.
It work fine, but should I had to remove nvidia driver before installation of nvidia-ck one?

It seems that there is no errors or conflicts with nvidia and nvidia-ck, but which one is current driver nvidia or nvidia-ck?

Re: linux-ck with nvidia-ck

In my experience, nvidia propreitory drivers work the nicest on newer cards. Nvidia are the current drivers. I had trouble with nouveau on my gtx465, and the nvidia drivers sorted that all out. Just make sure you do nvidia-xconfig to make a functional xorg.conf file to work with the nvidia drivers.
Perhaps you could gauge if nvidia-ck works on your card by seeing if GNOME3 starts in fallback or the regular gnome3.

Live long, and prosper.

Re: linux-ck with nvidia-ck

There is no conflict between the official nvidia package and the unofficial nvidia-ck package, as each installs to a different path under /lib/modules. Your choice of kernel at boot-time determines which driver will be used.
