Just hit www.nvidia.com and get their binary driver.
I thought of that, but their new driver refuses to install unless I halt the X server, and I don't know how to do that yet. I tried a terminal session, but it's no different.
Thanks.
While in a terminal window enter init 3, as root. This should stop X. Or you could boot with a 3 (runlevel) at the end of the kernel command line.
