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
