I had had the same like solo0815 and the others, I upgraded from gutsy
on my PC at work.

$ tail /var/log/message
May  3 22:09:36  NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module  96.43.05  Tue 
Jan 22 19:36:58 PST 2008

$ /etc/init.d/gdm start

$ tail /var/log/message
May  3 22:09:36  NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 169.12, but
May  3 22:09:36  NVRM: this kernel module has the version 96.43.05.  Please
May  3 22:09:36  NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
May  3 22:09:36  NVRM: components have the same version.

In /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common I wrote like Doug Brunner 
suggests
DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia nvidia_legacy"

$ apt-get install --reinstall linux-restricted-modules
$ apt-get install --reinstall nvidia_glx_new
$ apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-new-dev

$ cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia.gutsy /etc/X11/xorg.conf

now I tried:

$ modprobe -v nvidia_new

$ tail /var/log/message
May  3 22:31:07  NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  169.12  Thu Feb 
14 17:53:07 PST 2008

$ /etc/init.d/gdm start

Now are no API mismatchs in /var/log/message and I get the normal gdm-
greater

root 5351  0.0  0.0  14056  1584 ?        Ss   22:32   0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm
root 5352  0.0  0.1  17788  3320 ?        S    22:32   0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm

/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter

instead of the failsafeXinit before:

root 4216  0.0  0.0   1772   504 ?        S    22:09   0:00 /bin/sh
/etc/gdm/failsafeXinit   /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe with-gdm

So it seems to run now, but I sit 20 km away from the PC at work. Next I want 
to try if the right modules were loaded automatic on
boot time.
