I was wondering how you change which driver the graphics card uses - e.g.. if
i wanted to change from the proprietary Nvidia (or ATI) driver to the open
source ones - how do i do it?

You just need the part of the configuration file with the change, leave the rest on automatic. I have a "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv" file which I copy to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" or delete if I want the nv driver or the default, nvidia driver. No need to remove drivers.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nv"
EndSection

thats all it has. Simple :-)
