Since reinstalling VirtualBox worked I decided to reinstall the nVidia

for instructions and followed them.

After a reboot my old two screen setup returned. nvidia-settings shows
that I'm running 390.129. I am happy.
Looking at the current boot log with journalctl -b I find the following:
(In the terminal, a number of lines are shown boldface. I've added that
bolding below.)

Some of those seem to indicate something is still wrong, but so far the
nVidia drive appears to be working.
Do I have more work to do?
