@Iain,
 I had nvidia-glx-185 installed and working.  I had manually patched it.  I also had removed the fall_back patch as I suspected it of causing trouble.  So I went from a working driver, upgraded using the ppa, and the system locked, with a blank screen.  I used REISUB, attempted booting again, and this time had a quickly flashing login screen.  Halfway through REISUB, before I got to B, the flickering stopped and I was able to log in to a TTY.  That's when I removed, then reinstated, the fall_back patch, as I said above.

Before all that, I had installed the 190 drivers but was unable to boot
on the RT kernel.  So I guess it is possible that I still had some
residual stuff from that.
