I have no idea...but I'll try to answer your questions anyway. If I get
scolded, so be it.

Open up a terminal window while X is running and type:
/usr/bin/glxinfo | grep direct
In a kind world, the response will be "direct rendering: Yes". If you
don't get that response then possibly your driver is b0rked again or
there's a problem in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Perhaps you could
run /usr/sbin/nvidia-xconfig.

I think the command you can use in the terminal is
/usr/sbin/nvidia-settings. It might give you an error report.

I got nothin'. :(
Give cpio a shot?
What's your tar command?
I've never attempted such a conversion.
