Trying to reproduce the problem to generate those logs, it seems there
is more to it; Here is what I did: I removed the nvidia driver and
rebooted. With both screens attached, as "expected", I got the graphical
corruption (on both screens), and was unable to log in or or open a
terminal with control alt function key.

So I disconnected one of my screens, rebooted using the magic sysrq
keys, and still got the same problem. Im guessing it has something to do
with my xorg still referencing a second monitor? Anyway, so I rebooted
again, this time  in recovery mode, and saved the xorg log file, which
you will find attached.

I reinstalled the nvidia 185 drivers from the root shell, rebooted, and
what do you know, I still had the graphical corruption with either 1 or
2 screens attached. Only after running nvidia-xconfig from a root shell,
did I get a GUI again (albeit somewhat buggy with empty panels and
extremely slow. Killing gnome-panel cured both problems).

Anyway, attached my lspci output, the Xorg.0.log file that i saved  from
the root shell session  (I suspect that is not overwritten when you
don't start X ?) and a copy/paste from the messages log that relates to
the first buggy boot (nvidia driver removed, both screens attached).
