Problems after installing nvidia kmod

[Paolo Galtieri]

Following the steps I'm now running on the nvidia driver.

However, I'm still having the problem with nautilus not displaying the
desktop icons.  I also noticed that with the nvidia driver I'm now back to
seeing the 3 progress bars on boot as opposed to the graphical boot screen I
had before.
