I've just noticed that when I attempt to purge nvidia-331*, systems insists on installing nvidia-304. Why?
# apt-get --purge remove nvidia-331 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: nvidia-304 nvidia-current The following packages will be REMOVED: nvidia-331* The following NEW packages will be installed: nvidia-304 nvidia-current 0 to upgrade, 2 to newly install, 1 to remove and 3 not to upgrade. Need to get 0 B/68.3 MB of archives. After this operation, 27.4 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? In any case, I'll rerun the previous commands in addition to also purging bumblebee and if anything fails, maybe it's time to move onto the Salamanda!

I had to remove xorg.conf to enable my system to boot to unity again. I've attached the file that caused the problem. My system has onboard intel graphics on the motherboard, and a beefcake nvidia card to which my monitors are connected.
