My laptop suffered a terminal failure of the MXM Nvidia graphics card.

I've had to remove the card and now when I boot into normal mode the
screen fritzes out as X tries to use the installed Nvidia drivers when
there's no card in there.

I need to remove these drivers and reconfigure X to use the on-board
graphics chip. This is my task for the 3.5 hours I'm on the train
tomorrow afternoon (which means I won't have any access to the
intertubes if I run into anything I'm unsure about.

Anyone got any advice on the cleanest way to reconfigure X from the CLI
before I make a complete hash of it?
