1) I uninstalled the nVidia driver. I had to boot up Synaptic to find every piece of the driver, since the Hardware Manager left something behind unremoved. I used "nvidia" as search phrase and tagged all things nVidia for complete removal
2) Then I rebooted
3) Then I opened a command prompt and executed "sudo dpkg --configure --pending"
4) In order to reinstall the nVidia driver, boot up Synaptic and seach for "nvidia" and install the nvidia-glx-??? packet, where "???" is a version number. At time of writing, the newest available to me was nvidia-glx-180
Be sure to get the nvidia-???-modaliases (In my case = nvidia-180-modaliases) as well.
Yup... That fixed it for me.
