When changing from nvidia-current to nvidia-experimental-310 for some reson nvidia-current is not disabled and upon rebooting X does not start. The solution is to use jockey-text to disable nvidia-current.

$ sudo jockey-text -d xorg:nvidia_current

The same procedure needs to be done when moving from nvidia-experimental-310 back to nvidia-current.
$ sudo jockey-test -d kmod:nvidia_experimental_310

Strangely Jockey does not see the 310 driver as being in use, even though the nVidia settings application does. Well it is experimental...
