Downloaded the 256.53 driver from the Nvidia site and it seems to work. This is a little easier to install then the scripts above:

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/256.53/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.53.run
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/256.53/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run

Note you have to drop down to command line and stop X to install this driver.

1. Get to command line: ctrl-alt-f5
2. Login
3. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
4. sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.53.run or sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run
