    I assume that means you uninstalled the driver... so here's how to install it from the command line (or from recovery mode using Terminal)

    sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
    sudo nvidia-xconfig
    Note this does mean you were using nvidia-glx-new, there are a few versions depending what 3d card you were using. Geforce 4 and up require nvidia-glx-new. Geforce 3 and below use the package called 'nvidia-glx'

    If you've never used the terminal before 'sudo' will ask you for a password, it's the same as your main accounts password.
