I followed their instructions, but I'm getting the error that X needs to be shut off before the drivers can be installed.  Makes sense, but Desktop automatically puts you in the X/GNOME environment.  How can I get around this? I tried booting into text only mode, but then it's at runlevel 1 and the installer doesn't like that either. I killed the offending X process, but that just logged me out.  Ideas?  TIA!

	Back when I was fighting NVIDIA it was a real pleasure  to do 
when I found that the Ubuntu repos have the drivers! Forget 
the driver you got from the web site and look for a driver 
with the Synaptic Package Manager.
