[SOLVED] Unload 'nvidia' module - how?

This may be a noob question, but -Syu upgraded my nvidis-173xx drivers. After upgrading, I was told to unload the 'nvidia' module and exit Xserver.

The exact message goes like this:

ERROR: Module nvidia is in use
In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manually.

How do I exit Xserver and unload 'nvidia'?

Just restart X or reboot. Your new driver has been upgraded, just not loaded as you are already in X.
