I removed the Radeon card and rebooted. I was warned that I would be
working in lo-graphics mode and asked if I wanted to run that way for a
single session. I say OK.

The machine booted normally and, using Synaptic, I removed all the
nVidia packages.

I rebooted the machine but was warned that I would be working in
lo-graphics mode because of something related to nVidia. I went ahead.
Back in Synaptic I see that there are no nVidia packages installed.

Next I'll try putting the nVidia card back in the machine and see if
loading the nVidia package works this time.
