Went through install w/nomodeset to avoid the blank screen, installed nvidia legacy 173.14.39 drivers with synaptic, udated, etc. then shut down; reboot. Reboot goes still to a blank screen unless I choose Recovery Mode. Once up nvidia card is recognized, correct drivers in place, resolution set properly, looks GREAT!
Only issue now after repeated trials, is that I can only boot through recovery mode, otherwise I just get the blank screen.
Is there a way around this? Otherwise it's looking awesome, I'm very excited.

EDIT: I fixed the bootup issue editing the /etc/default/grub and it comes up fine now as far as graphics, etc. My only remaining issue is that it boots up without displaying the grub screen choices. I tried a suggested "no menu" fix but that did not work. I will keep plugging on that, but I am marking this solved as the initial questions and issues are solved (and start a new thread in boot-up section if needed). Thanks!
