To clarify, after I install the drivers a reboot is required. It is at
this point that I find if the install is going to work or not. If it
fails, [I'm in console for this and not X] I cannot get back to X.
Hence, since I do not know what to do, I reinstall the OS. Perhaps
overkill, but you do what you know. Once I have a fresh OS install I
then reinstall the NVidia drivers and try again.
Is there an easier way to restore a crashed X server instead of
reinstalling the OS as I have been doing?
