CentOS 6.4
Came back from vacation, rebooted workstation, no X. Wound up running nvidia-installer. Now, I had been using kmod-nvidia, but had to stop a month or so ago, when NVidia stopped supporting my two-yr-old card ("legacy"). When that happened, I uninstalled kmod-nvidia.
One dumb question: I can't figure out where I got nvidia-installer. It happily d/l the most current valid version with --update, which it tells me (with --help) that it goes to ftp://download/nvidia.com. -v tells me nvidia-installer: version 319.23 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-11) Thu May 16 20:17:29 PDT 2013 The NVIDIA Software Installer for Unix/Linux.
This program is used to install, upgrade and uninstall The NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver Set for Linux-x86_64.
