Could not complete kernel testing since the video card driver didn't like the new kernel.
The resolution was incorrect.
I am a nub and didn't know how to correct.
Going back to old kernel fixed the problem.
linux-image-3.15.0-031500-generic_3.15.0-031500.201406081435_amd64
linux-headers-3.15.0-031500-generic_3.15.0-031500.201406081435_amd64

I should add I had to do the following to fix the screen back light on 13.10 and 14.04:

1) Go to Nvidia settings and save config into xorg.conf (the file will be at /etc/X11)
2) In xorg.conf in the "Device" section for your GPU add (use sudo to edit with your favorite editor)
 Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
3) restart X and brightness works or reboot
