To get rid of the nvidia stuff and its config, you can do either
apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* (that is my way)
or use aptitude GUI and remove all packages manually. After that, you can
start
orphaner
which is a nice GUI to uninstall orphaned libs. At last I suggest to so
aptitude purge ~c
which purges ALL config files from any uninstalled package.
There is also a command called deborphan, but I never used it.
Besides, when I remember correctly, there is an option, to build a debian
package from Nvidia-*****.run, but I am not sure, Maybe I mix it in my mind
with the fglrx-*****.run from ATI....
Good luck!
Hans
