It worked! These are the commands I used:

sudo -s
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-current nvidia-settings

I opened Jockey and installed the driver and everything worked fine
(except I accidentally chose 173 instead of 190)

xorg.conf was automagically created - not by nvidia-xconfig, but with
the following contents:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	DefaultDepth	24
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load	"glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Default Device"
	Driver	"nvidia"
	Option	"NoLogo"	"True"
EndSection

I will now attempt installation of the latest version (190.53). Thanks
very much for your help - Jockey is way more convenient as I don't have
to do a manual rebuild every time I get a kernel update.
