Tier:
Installing the official drivers tends to be a one way thing. Once the official 
drivers are installed files can wind up being changed that then prevent the 
Ubuntu NVIDIA binary drivers from working again. Getting back the system back 
to a state where the Ubuntu NVIDIA binary drivers do work is often very hard 
because of the manual changes made (and the process of reverting the official 
drivers beyond the remit of the launchpad bug area). Left over pieces of the 
official binary drivers may also explain the "NVRM: RM/client version 
mismatch!!" error message you gave. As mentioned before 
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 and 
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport are the places to go for support 
now you've switched to the official drivers and be aware of the drawbacks 
mentioned in the "Kernel and Mesa Updates" section of 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual . Good luck!
