I retract the statement that you should be in much better shape. Given 
all the problems people have been experiencing lately, I decided to 
start a bare-metal install of my own. The nvidia driver part is quite 
badly broken from what it used to be, for some reason I have yet to 
figure out. You can either install from nVidia's own shell script in 
the mean time, or stay tuned for a fix tomorrow. I'm badly in need of 
sleep right now...
