That's about how long it took me until I learned about the nVidia 295.40 issues.
To answer your question about recovery mode, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to activate the nVidia drivers. I'll post my entire xorg.conf file here so that you can cut and past what you wish. The key line for your question is Device "nvidia".
