Well, it was worth a shot but one of the selections screwed the pooch...

My original selection was 2. Not sure why I had this but I do remember is was due to some issue or the other a long while back.
So, I went for the #1 setting. It did not change anything with or without the ENV setting changed.
Then dropped down to #4. No change their either. So, WTF, tried that old legacy driver. That brought me up to a black screen. Some research on my laptop led me to change the grub setting to "nomodeset".
That got me video, but I had no mouse control over any of the panel and/or menu items. The desktop itself appeared ok, so I was able to use the folders I had on the desktop to get to "terminal mode" and do some stuff. But still nothing I did got 3.1.1 to run.
So now I am back with #1 nvidia driver. For whatever reason, now #2 will not work anymore. And I have all those system startup processes running through the screen before the nvidia driver kicks in. I think that is probably because grub is now bonked, but not sure.
Anyway, thanks for the tip, but no change.
