I forgot to add: If you kill the X with ctrl+alt+backspace, it just tries to restart gdm automatically. If you want to kill gdm completely, you must wait it to restart and kill it again a few times, so it gives up and stays down.

You are doing it all wrong. The easiest and most compatible way to kill gdm and install Nvidia drivers is like this:
1) press ctrl+alt+F1 (this brings you the text-based login outside the X)
2) command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" if you use ubuntu, and "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop" if you use kubuntu
3) now you have no X running and can install the Nvidia-drivers by commanding "sudo sh NVIDIA..." completing the package name which you are installing
