this is what got my system working again:

    *  ssh in from remote
    * delete existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this step may not have been needed)
    * download from nvidia.com the NVIDIA-Linux-*.run for your hardware and copy it to your PC (I did it with a second PC and transfered via scp)
    * run the NVIDIA-Linux-*.run
    * Follow the instructions
    * reboot
