    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>
