[ATrpms-users] nvidia legacy problem

[john bray]

i just decided to put up the nvidia legacy drivers on my second box.
seems to have had a major problem.

not quite sure of the implications, nor what to do.  anyone have any
suggestions about it?  

this is what i saw:

--this showed up on the smart log window:

Output from nvidia-graphics7184-1:1.0_7184-74.1.fc6.at at i386:
/usr/sbin/nvidia-graphics-switch: line 71: 29476 Segmentation
fault      /sbin/modprobe char-major-195 >/dev/null 2>&1

--and the following showed up from syslogd in terminal windows:
