Bottom line: I went for the NVIDIA installer directly and built the binary modules. This means that LiveXBMC kernel can NOT be upgraded via apt-get since Xorg will break, but I found this to be acceptable for a sort of "embedded system"
Nonetheless, if you want to try yourself create a LARGE loopfile, replace the existing ext3fs.img and install whatever is needed.
That's why I don't use EnvyNG to update the nvidia driver. It's a pig in everything it downloads, builds and installs. I manually remove the restricted driver BS crap and build from the nvidia script. Works every time.
