Thomas,
I now have what you have above, but I now get the message from 
restarting gdm that it cannot find the nvidia module.  As far as I can 
tell, it's there.  I see /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o.
I'm not sure what I should be  looking for.  I installed nvidia-glx with 
Synaptic.  I feel that I'm close but I'm no guru.
