... humans are infecting Veeger. I figured I'd fix the display manager 
problem with a clean install.  Here's the fun part that gives me the 
giggles: I downloaded the testing DVD to install clean from, whilst 
thinking it would be stretch or sid. Best laid plans of mice.

I rebooted upon completion and it went smoothly. I installed my Nvidia 
drivers and that went smooth. It was all soooo stupidly smooth that I 
suspected something was wrong. Surprise, my sources list reflected 
Jessie, not Stretch or Sid. I <cough cough> FIXED that. Figuring baby 
steps I'd go for Stretch. Long story short. I'm back to the black screen 
with itty bitty mouse cursor where I should be logging in.  Synaptic is 
also acting up again  with the drop down menus refusing to drop down.

I'm fulla pain killers (legitimately prescribed!) so I figure a much 
younger, and more agile, mind with figure this out. I'll even buy my 
newly found favorite cube-monkey a pizza, as long as the order doesn't 
require truffles.
