I'll attach output from inside the broken install next.  I tried to
install "read-edid" into my USB stick, but the package doesn't exist
according to apt-get and the software center.  And I don't want to apt-
get update/upgrade in case that breaks everything.

According to the Xorg.0.log file the USB stick is using the NOUVEAU
driver ('Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)').  I
think that is probably why it works and my installed version doesn't (it
installed the proprietary driver by default).  That seems bad that the
Nvidia offered driver has problems (if true).

And Grub2's menu displays correctly at what I'm guessing is the default
screen resolution.  The text is super tiny compared what what I used to
see back with 10.10, which I think was using 640x480.
