Don't know you environment and hardware, but I just tried:

on my desktop: Archlinux x86_64 (AMD), kernel 3.4.2-2, systemd; last
update brought nvidia 259.59 when I was running openbox. I installed
update, logout (exited Openbox) which should be bring me to KDM but
I got a terminal. I logged into terminal as a user, run
$ sudo systemctl stop kdm.service
$ sudo modprobe -r nvidia
$ sudo modprobe nvidia
$ sudo systemctl kdm.service
so now all works fine.

>From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
$ grep 'NVIDIA GLX' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 47278.388] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module  295.59  Wed Jun  6 21:40:44 PDT 2012
