I did clean installs with the alternate iso, and two separate installs
produced the same result:
1. After install and first hard drive boot, let Synaptic do updates.
Booting immediately afterward left me at a terminal login, no X.
2. After install and first hard drive boot, activate nVidia driver
Thanks, that's much easier!
Synaptic said I had broken packages and wanted to remove libc6-dev (11),
nvidia-185-kernel-source, and nvidia-glx-185. Since I'm using the 185
driver, I think I'll leave things alone.

[karmic] Xorg (and anything GLX) crashes on startup

I guess my question, "...is there a way to block that?" should have been, "How
do I pin the older libraries?" I did a search and found this:
Edit /etc/apt/preferences with something like this:
1. Package: ruby
2. Pin: release a=hardy
3. Pin-Priority: 900
Is that what needs to be do
Thanks for all the tips and links, guys. I downgraded the two non-dev
packages and now the 185 driver is doing its thing.
Synaptic sure wants to put those newer libs back; is there a way to
block that?

The site http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ only
has ubuntu11 files, not ubuntu9. I went ahead and tried them after
switching back to "nv" in xorg.conf. But I got the black screen again.
