I had the same issue, and did the following:

Remove all packages pertaining to nVidia drivers.
Move the X11 configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) somewhere out of the way.
Restart the machine - this will give you a basic X setup with no nVidia drivers, but it will still work.
In the Gnome Control Center, select Hardware Drivers.
It should recommend the nVidia 96 drivers for you. Install them, and everything should be peachy.

Hope this helps,
Steve.
