I need some help. I need to replace the nvidia-driver-340 with nvidia-driver-304 to support my nvidia 6200 video card. I have been pointed a the port, I can get into single user mode and mount all the file systems. But the simple 'make install' in the 304 directory does not work, claiming it cant overwrite one of the 340 files. 'make deinstall' of the 340 package was also suggested but it appears its not a port. 'pkg remove nvidia-driver-340' was also suggested, it dies with a 'Package(s) not found'. A simple renaming of the file that needs to be overwritten doesn't work either, seems that 'port install' must be working from some list of files that it has squirreled away, as it still complains. Now at least one user says he did this, so it must be possible, can someone please give me a method that really works? Thanks -- Reg.Clemens reg@dwf.com
