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.
