Mark,
I first tried
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64.run which was running fine on the computer
without problems.
I then ran VIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60.run. This is the version that I am
currently using on the "problem" computer.
Along the way with many attempts, I received error messages such as
NVIDIA kernel module ha version 256.44 but the NVIDIA driver componet has
version 304.64
Another error message with another attempt to get the display working --
ABI versions are not in agreement.

I kept the old link for libwfb.so as libwfb.old.so in case I had to
backtrack.
