I believe I have developed a workaround

PLEASE READ ENTIRELY BEFORE EXECUTING

Open a terminal and do the following:

sudo apt-get install xserver-common=2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10 xserver-xorg-core=2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10

% this operation downgrades xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core. For me, the installed versions before downgrading were both 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.8

% The following packages were recommended when i tried downgrading xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core, so I installed them

sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi

% after this completes, reboot, then login and open a terminal and do:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

% then reboot one more time
DONE
