I decided to go
along and included kernel sources for said downgrade (upgrade for my old
2.6.22.9-0.4 )
and downloaded the whole kernel-default-2.6.22.13-0.3.i586.rpm and
source and syms (remember I once said I wanted yast to keep copies once
and smart package manager doesn't work properly yet) .
I then rebooted and as usual my x server didn't start. I was ready for
this. I logged in as root and ran NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run and
it fixed my nvidia problem.
My main problem is why did I have to do that, why couldn't my desktop
come up immediately.

Section "The easy way" warning in the blue box.

I just moved warning before any version related information as it is valid for
all versions, present and future. Sometimes, to satisfy more improtant
reasons of computer security and stability, kernel is updated in a such way
that old precompiled driver is no more compatible with new kernel.

Actually the warning is wrong I think, because I *think* that the drivers
have been updated to match the latest secuity updates.

Ciao, Marcus
