    I installed the new drivers... then attempted to install them again.

    Worked both times, restarted, now I have no nvidia graphics and maximum res is 1024x768 or whatever.

    How do I fix this?

    Official drivers won't work with the R1, you will need these unofficial drivers to retain graphics switching.

    Is there a way to restore or relocate the stock drivers?
