I think you're supposed to stop X before you run nvidia-xconfig. (not sure, it's been awhile)

You may or may not need to add "nomodeset" to the boot command. You should not need to purge and reinstall xorg. I think you do need to blacklist nouveau.

I'm unable to use the nvidia driver.  Runing nvidia-settings tells me to run nvidia-xconfig.  Either of the above versions of n*-xconfig just kicks me out of X and I have to purge X and reinstall to get back to a graphical environment.

So at the moment, I'm suck at a low resolution screen.  Any ideas?
