How to downgrade to 180.29??

[BenP]

Hey, I have read a few posts about nvidia 180.35 drivers problems, but sadly, too late, so I was wondering how to downgrade to 180.29? I have no packages in cache, because I formated my ext3 to ext4 , is there a link where to download *.deb packages? Or a repository that contains 180.29 or 180.11 would be ok, too.

I think you can get to the 177 versions with
sudo aptitude install nvidia-177-kernel-source nvidia-glx-177

I was mistaken. 177 kernel source does not appear to be available but 173 is so
sudo aptitude install nvidia-173-kernel-source nvidia-glx-173
will probably get you working until newer ones become available.

Thnx for the reply, but I have tried that, 173 are too outdated for my card (GF9400GT) even 177 had issues with KDE4, so KDE performance is very bad, I need something above 180, only then my card works well with KDE4.
So, I guess there is no other solution than to wait for a fix from Nvidia?

You can get the 1.80.29 install file right from the nvidia site.
