So I did
But now if I do startx X chrashes with this message :

Ediit 1 : One thing I find wierd. There is a 32 bit starting on a pure 64 bit machine.

Did you restart? Please post xorg.log

Hello,
A reboot did it.
I always think that on a kernel update you have to reboot and for nothing else.

the nvidia driver is a kernel module, and if you update with a running x-session it can't be reloaded or your X would go down. restarting X is not enough, but manually unloading/loading the module will do, so a reboot is not necessary per se. Pretty sure you get a message to that end after installing.
Pleas mark "solved".
