After running "jockey-gtk -e", jockey downloads the correct package and
installs it. That process is very visible in the GUI.

So "dpkg -l" shows nvidia-glx-96 as being installed. If I enable the 71
driver, then it would remove 96 and install 71.

Since I did not enable the nvidia driver, I deleted my xorg.conf to launch X in 
the fail-safe mode.
"jockey-gtk -e" creates this xorg.conf file:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        DefaultDepth    24
        Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load    "glx"
        Disable "dri2"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Default Device"
        Driver  "nvidia"
        Option  "NoLogo"        "True"
EndSection
