Hi Lane,

What I did, after a lot of messing around trying to get things to work, was
this:

- Log in to recovery console for root with networking

- rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

- apt-get remove nvidia-current

- apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

- reboot

I think that put me back to about what I had by default before I used the
"Hardware Drivers" program to install the nvidia-current driver.  In any
event, it once again works fine unless you want to watch DVD's or some such.

hth

Regards,
Bob
