James: You must `sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-*.run --uninstall` the package that you got from the Nvidia web site before installing the deb package. If you installed both, then uninstall both before reinstalling the deb.

DKMS improperly clobbers the local nvidia.ko module and you'll get version mismatches and a mangled configuration. If you want to regenerate the xorg.conf file, then run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` at a terminal prompt. Also note that the Jockey driver manager doesn't recognize the oldest and newest Nvidia drivers but they still work properly. Ignore he warning.

This ticket is the wrong place to do technical support. The best place to ask is the PPA page, the IRC channel, or the forums.
