...from an Nvidia .run file.

I'm on ubuntu 12.04 and the Nvidia 295.40 driver is a travesty in 64bit.  So I got ahold of nvidia's 295.33 driver, killed X and installed it via Nvidia's command-line installer.  Biiiiig mistake.  Fried the hell out of amy graphical use whatsoever.  Can't even get Nouveau to start.  I think I need to yank out what Nvidia's installer did.  I did an rmmod nvidia - no joy.  Help?  Typing this on my cellphone...sigh.
