That would be helpful, as well as running reportbug -N 848149 in the broken system to collect as much info as possible. My first guess is that the linux-header package for your kernel was not installed and therefore the nvidia kernel modules were not built, causing Xorg to fall back to VESA/VGA. Wait, you are one stable (jessie)? Did you create an xorg.conf? There is no automatic Xorg integration in jessie, yet. Andreas
