apt-get -f brought up the useage of option switches. wasn't sure
exactly what I was trying to get at. Thought this was supposed to
show me pacakages that failed to update properly.<br>
<br>
nvidia settings or xsettings reply with program not found, and
xrandr just gave me info on my video card.<br>
<br>
I think my systems was pretty broken. Ended up doing a fresh
install. Then had to spend some time fixing Grub.<br>
All is back in order.<br>

<div> 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>
