Thanks Andrei,

I did dpkg --purge nvidia-glx-legacy, and put nvidia-glx in its place.

Unfortunately, the /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx script, upon reboot, moves
or deletes files needed by the nvidia module as installed by:

 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run

And X won't start.

Is nvidia-glx actually needed with the nvidia module installed by

 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run
