More information: I found that 352.63 also claimed to support my nvidia 
graphics card. I installed it. It made me reconfigure my xorg.conf.
Putting "Intel" as the default driver allowed me to see the login screen. But 
whenever I entered the correct password, X would crash and send me back to the 
login screen (On several kernel versions including the then most recent one).

I have somewhat worked around the problem by installing a blatantly
incompatible nvidia driver and the machine behaves as if it only had the
Intel graphics.
