Re: Procedure to uninstall nvidia drivers and restore nouveau

[Alex Naysmith <yeoman.python@gmail.com>]

From the nvidia install procedure is the following command:

# aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms

I can see the pipe | symbol and the regular expressions but I don't really understand what this command is doing.

After following the procedure at https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers to install the nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx package for my GeForce FX5550 card [Debian 7 "Wheezy"], I would like to know the best method to return to the nouveau driver with the files from the glx-legacy-1733 package removed including the /etc/X11/xorg.d directory. I think users would benefit from an 'uninstall nvidia driver' wiki page.
