Everyone,

Ok. Based on the input from Pal_ here is how I got my system running
again. THANKS PAL!

1. I used the "Additional Drivers" application to remove (deactivate) the Nvidia driver.
2. I used Synaptic to remove all Nvidia packages.
3. I followed Pal's link and downloaded the following packages:

nvidia-185-libvdpau 256.53-0ubuntu3
nvidia-185-modaliases 256.53-0ubuntu3
nvidia-current 256.53-0ubuntu3
nvidia-current-modaliases 256.53-0ubuntu3
nvidia-glx-185 256.53-0ubuntu3

I used Nautilus to view my download directory and double click on each
of these file names (one at a time) to automatically launch the "Ubuntu
Software Center" application that allowed me to install each package
(one at a time). After all packages have been installed, do the
following:

sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf
(select the number for the alternative for nvidia-current)

sudo ldconfig

sudo nvidia-xconfig

sudo reboot

I don't know why Ubuntu does not have the 256-53 driver in the
repository.

Hope I didn't leave any steps out and this helps everyone else until
Ubuntu fixes this bug.

Mike
