X server problem after up2date

["Thom DeCarlo" <t r decarlo LARC NASA GOV>]

I've really mucked things up this time...

I just ran up2date and it loaded a new version of the kernel
(2.4.0.21-32....) and the accompanying kernel source and utilities. 

I then noticed that openGL applications were not using the hardware
acceleration. So, I reran the NVIDIA driver installer (version 7174).

Now when I boot I get the message "There already appears to be an X server
running on display :0. Should I attempt to try another display number?"

Uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers doesn't make it any happier. Can anyone tell
me how to recover from here?

Thanks,
Thom
