The above error means that the kernel module that is currently loaded is
the old one while the X driver is the new one. In other words, you only
tried to restart X instead of rebooting the machine or terminating X,
doing "modprobe -r nvidia" and then restarting X.
Contrary to other posts, you do NOT need to rebuild your kernel. You
only need to load the new kernel module.
