If you're using Oneiric, the only thing you need to do is remove the
nvidia_173 or nvidia_173_updates driver.
The command jockey-text -l will give you what supplementary drivers are
installed, which you can remove with e.g. :
jockey-text -d xorg:nvidia_173
Remove all activated, xorg-prefixed
nvidia-173 is a special legacy driver, which doesn't cover your 8800M
GTS card. Hence don't expect performance... Better try nouveau instead !
I have Oneiric x86_64 too and experience similar problems with my 8800M
GTX, i.e. systematic X freeze shortly after startup. Logging in doesn't
matter
