Jerry, right after taking the screenshot and asking for instructions to post it, I took another look at the NVIDIA selections.
I saw that only one of the four was "tested." Well, duh! :-[ I tried that one, and it worked just fine. This was the 340.96 from nvidia-340.
One of the two I tried yesterday that didn't work well was the 340.96 from nvidia-340-UPDATE, which I assumed was an newer version. The boot screen is still the text-ish one, but I had also changed the grub menu to set the graphics to "auto" (and can't remember the original setting, which wasn't my 1440 x 900 display resolution).
I can't remember which of the two 304.131 entries I tried yesterday that didn't work.
I am a bit embarrassed that I didn't originally try the tested driver, but I hope this info is of some use to you and your team. I'll post the screenshot when you tell me how to do it.
Cheers,
Andy
