apparently, i did not quite remove all the modules.  even tho the nvidia
driver compiles the kernel module, apparently it doesn't get used unless
the other modules are removed.  running 'apt-get remove --purge nvidia*'
beforehand did the trick.  i now have 185.18.04 installed.  however, i
still cannot use 1280x1024 resolution.  the monitor supports that mode.
it is a dell 1901fp and i was using that mode in ms windows.  the only
thing i see above that i haven't tried is starting with ubuntu 8.04 and
upgrading to 8.10 and then 9.04?? how ridiculous ;) i'm not going to do
that.  is that really necessary?  there is obviously something related
to nvidia/xorg that is in place on ubuntu 8.04 that doesn't get wiped
away due to the upgrade process, i would guess.  isn't there a way to
force 1280x1024 in xorg.conf or something?  this seems so simple...
