After last update, x server isnt OK

After last update (yesterday) my x server isnt ok. I used nvidia and nvidia-utils and it was ok. But yesterday I have updated packages nvidia and nvidia-utils (new version 177.80-1).
I dont know why the new packages dont work. No I have to use vesa driver.
I dont know how I can do rollback and use old version.

My pc:
32 bit archlinux
AMD athlon 64 2800+, memory 512MB, Ge-Force fx 5700

Re: After last update, x server isnt OK

so how do I get out of X to a command line? ATL+CTRL+Backspace is not working. how do I roll back with no command line?

Re: After last update, x server isnt OK

Have you tried CTRL+ALT+Fn? e.g. CTRL+ALT+F1 ?
