I’m trying to trouble-shoot a problem that I’ve been having. Downgrading my nVidia driver is about the only thing I haven’t tried.

I have an nVidea GeForce 6200 and installed the latest driver version 290.10, but Í’d like to try an earlier version. When I search for my driver on the nVidia website, it always brings me to the download page for the latest version. How can I find an older version to install?

Here’s some potentially relevant information:

OS Information

OS:                 Linux 3.1.0-1.2-default i686
System:             openSUSE 12.1 (i586)
KDE:                4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5"

Display Info

Vendor:             nVidia Corporation
Model:              GeForce 6200 (0x0221)
2D driver:          nvidia
3D driver:          NVIDIA 290.10

Please let me know if you need anything else.
