In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf you need to change the driver from "nvidia"
(the proprietary driver) to "nv" (the open source driver).
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia" # <===== THIS LINE
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 6600 GT"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" # not EXA
BTW, what I do when I update the kernel is first boot into runlevel 3,
then build the proprietary driver modules, and then change to runlevel 5.
