I installed 2 different versions of the nvidia drivers on Dapper, and I
can't seem to get rid of the older version.  Every time I reboot, X
won't start until I killall gdm, rmmod nvidia, modprobe nvidia, and
restart glm.  So, my conclusion would be that once multiples are
installed, the first version is the one that will be loaded by default.
