No, you shouldn't have to reboot; you don't even have to log out or otherwise get out of X session. As long as you reinstall nvidia-driver at the end and don't run glx stuff in between things should be fine. If just removing nvidia-driver port didn't help, try to reinstall xorg-libraries. This should bring back the glx libraries that nvidia-driver overwrites. Dejan
