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.
