Someone over on the nvidia forums kindly suggested installing 256.53
from the nvidia repos. That has me up and running. I have no idea how
this affects further Ubuntu updates, however. The "Additional drivers"
tool still says "(version current) [Recommended]", which seems
meaningless now. Why is there version number shown on that tool?

What is irritating me is this idea that somehow there are no working
drivers for my card when they had been working absolutely fine until
yesterday. This is a bug. For it to suddenly be deemed  "unsupported
hardware" is ridiculous, imo.
