    The above error is from v346.16 driver. What was the error for an older driver? Also did you actually try to quit X-Window and install the driver like the error message directed? i.e. "ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. "

    You can also find the supported drivers here in case you were looking somewhere else.
