I'm trying to install the latest x-swat nvidia drivers. I follow the process described here.

It seems to work ok, i.e. my repository shows the right version (304.43), but when I load the Nvidia X Server Settings application it still shows Nvidia Driver Version: 295.49

I tried purging, rebooting, reinstalling. Nothing seems to make an effect (at least on the Nvidia X Server Settings app).

Any suggestion why this is happening or how to wipe the driver and install the latest one?

Strange to say, I have the same problem with a GT440. After install and reboot, the old 295 driver is still present and current. Any idea ?
