nvidia-xconfig created such a file, and the driver in it is set to "nvidia",
so I think that is indeed the confirmation I was looking for.

Thank you.

How do I do that? (Although it doesn't seem to be necessary.)

I have no idea how to answer that, I'm afraid. If you can tell me what
commands I should try in order to get that information, I'll happily try them.

The system here (jessie, 64-bit) is completely up to date, so it should be
using the latest version of everything that is supported in jessie.

(It's on my to-do list to move to stretch, but given that the first system on
which I tried that produced a not-particularly-pleasant experience, with one
issue still unresolved, I'm waiting for a bit before upgrading my main desktop
system.)
