Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I tried a few things, including
getting rid of the Nvidia driver that was installed during upgrade. Also
removed the old xorg.conf file and fixed a reference in sysconfig to the
nvidia driver. All without success.

Ran a fresh install from DVD and now have the system back in working
order, including the Nvidia drivers.
