Now I have to spend some of the little free time I have dicking around trying to get this working again.
I had the nvidia closed source driver working ok.
So, some commands and results:
me@me:~$ sudo lshw -c video

(No mention of the specific graphics card and an unexpected noveau entry)
According to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-tell-which-graphics-vga-card-installed/ there should be something about my card in there, in a line with `vga':
ms@ms:~$ lspci -v | grep vga
Not a thing. More from that page:
me@me:~$ sudo update-pciids

No change to the lspci vga output.

*snip* I eventually uninstalled everything and used bumblebee only (in case it helps you solve my problem or for people having a hard time installing their nvidia drivers).*snip*
Hmmm. Following something from that page:
me@me:~$ nvidia-detector
none
Odd. The page did not show a resolution and mentioned use of bumblebee. I don't thing I used it: apt-get doesn't know it. My video was working fine a few days ago......
So I looked in /var/log/:
me@me~: ls -lha /var/log/Xorg*
This showed a new file and an old one (from a couple of weeks ago, when things were ok). Differences:

while the old, working log had no mention of nouveau.
OK. I'm going to uninstall my video drivers as best I can and start this again..... Nervous. Back to unity and I'll turn off the video drivers.

me@me:~ sudo restart lightdm Other logs of interest: /var/log/nvidia-installer.log (apr 14)/var/log/jockey.log A reset: No improvement and the nvidia driver is reported by unity settings as in use. I removed it via the settings menu. A reset and now resolution looks normal but /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the same nvidiacomplaints as above. Why is it even being looked for now? It seems that video driversare not well managed in ubuntu. :( me@me:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig
WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' That's new. Before I removed the driver, there was a different complaint. I checked the linux headers, they seem fine.Restart again now the new xorg.conf has been written. Oh good. Back to low resolution. :( Checking the xorg log file, there is still no nvidia driver. OK. Re-enable via system settings gui. =============================== Four hours later =========================== Attempts to install Ubuntu 13 have failed. The USB installer is fine. On reboot, system locks during release of initfs. I tried different drive portsand many different bios settings. Going back to 12. :( What a waste of a day. ms@ms:~$ jockey-text --list | grep nvidia
