When I start the install with the sh command, it starts normally, but
then tells me that I have an X server running and I need to exit X
before installing.
So how do I do that?

Thanks,

Jimmy

You might want to give it a try.

Note: you'll have to switch to runlevel 2  

#init 2

Then run ...

#sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run

Thanks to all who responded with suggestions.

I really appreciate your help.

@Frank: I did the dpkg-reconfigure, and then I restarted gdm (sudo
/etc/init.d/gdm restart) and now I have my desktop again. Thank you :-)

There still seems to be a problem though: 

glxinfo gives me some error messages, and glxgears isn't working either.

When I find away to copy the output of glxinfo over to this computer,
I'll post it. 

glxgears gives me something like

Error: Couldn't get RGB, Double Buffered Visual
