Agreed! I just rebuilt the driver and it works again.

Remove you nvidia-glx package. Some people have problem with the Nvidia
supplied driver if they leave this package installed. I had to rebuild
the Nvidia driver EACH TIME I REBOOTED until someone told me to remove
this package.

Follow the instructions on Nvidia's web site reached by clicking on the
"text README" link.

Best of luck!
