Thanks for the assist, Mario. I looked in that directory and saw that
it had a dotfile but it indicated that the new nvidia driver was
installed. I then rebooted, got (temporarily) stuck in low-res mode
(pathetic) but found I needed to reinstall linux-restricted-modules,
and I also copied over again my old debian lenny xorg.conf, which was
all set up for me to run compiz (slow as mud on a Thunderbird). :)

Now I see:
