Yeah, unless you just play Hunt The Wumpus. Without accelerated 
graphics, you're missing out on a lot I already paid for. I refuse to 
cripple my hardware on purpose since I'm a geek, not a fool.

The reason the driver failed might be because the OP didn't install the 
dkms package. I went through the update and my nvidia setup is still 
rolling along. OTOH, if he would boot and get a black screen, move the 
mouse to see if there is a mouse cursor. If so, enter a terminal 
(ctl-alt-F1) logging as user and enter "startx" to see if his desktop 
comes back.
