I have stuffed my daughters Ubuntu trying to set up the nvidia drivers. I can get them to work if I load them using the NVIDIA binary and then use startx without rebooting. When I reboot X wont start and it tells me there is a driver mismatch. I have removed all of the possible conflicting drivers that I can find and edited the /etc/modules file to remove all reference to nvidia as Jeff suggested. Still no joy! I know I can start the machine and let X fail - run sudo NVIDIA-...... and then login each time the machine is restarted, but this seems a tedious way to use it. She needs to use windows for her games and linux for the internet so reboots are not uncommon. I must be missing something. But what??? NOTE: I have a very similar card (same GeForce model - 6200 - but different maker and it worked perfectly when I changed drivers. This is why I used the same procedure on hers.
