Thanks for the suggestions. I now have time to get back to my video
problem.<br>
I'll post an update on what I get with apt-get -f, sudo
nvidia-xsettingss, and xrandr, which I don't think will help.<br>
The GTX280 card is very capable. So I don't think that is an issue.<br>

Howard: I feel your pain, but at least you can see your
desktop! I've been burned more than once by the nvidia
drivers, where I have the Proprietary drivers installed, but
apt-get installs a bad driver from the repositories... I
think I've finally gotten apt-get (same thing as synaptic,
essentially) to stop that, but I've also trying to keep
notes about what I've done to fix this.<br>
<br>
One thing I recall is that after running the script provided
by Nvidia, I also run 'sudo nvidia-xsettings' to get my
dual-monitor set up to work. Not sure if that helps, but I
thought I'd offer it... good luck!<br>
