Question #76860 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76860

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
andy@fileserver:/dev$ ls -l ./nvidia0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 2009-06-30 03:29 ./nvidia0
andy@fileserver:/dev$ ls -l ./nvidiactl
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 2009-06-30 03:29 ./nvidiactl

which is 666 as you say

I suggest you run the following:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove;
sudo apt-get clean; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

then reboot

You will now be in a default x session with no 3D accelleration. You can
then run:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180

then reboot again. You should now be ok.
