I'm sorry about not getting back to you on this.. the machine in question is dead, so I can't verify one way or the other.

Before I used nvidia-304 because that seemed to be the only driver other than Nouveau that worked... the other nvidia drivers just give me a black screen With nvidia-361 I get a different outcome: I get to the login screen, and when I try to log in, it kicks me back out to the login screen. The only thing that I can do to resolve this is Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in, and try to undo anything that I just broke. So there are a number of things that look wrong in the logs, and I am willing to provide any necessary information, or try things.
