Monkeyman:
That would have been my guess but I didn't want to jump the gun. Thanks. I'll see if that makes a difference.
gold_finger:
I'd go with first option -- version 331.38. Says "(proprietary, tested)" indicating that it has been "tested" and found to work well, so that's probably best one. If no good for some reason, run driver search again and pick the second one.
Let us know if that fixes problem.
Monkeyman:
Here are my options. Which one should I choose?

From the output, your Nvidia card is using generic nouveau driver. Once you install proprietary Nvidia driver the problem should be solved. Do that by following either terminal method suggested by rokytnji, or just go to Menu -> Settings -> Install Drivers as Valtam said. If presented with more than one choice for driver, pick one using best judgement, or post a screenshot of window if you want second opinion. (See here for instructions to post screenshot.)

the Linux Lite way. I fixed mine via command line outside of X which is kind of frowned upon here
in this forum.

Ok. I booted into init3 boot under advanced boot settings. Then
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get update
--- End code ---
Let it finish
then
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
--- End code ---
Let it finish.
Then
--- Code: ---sudo shutdown -r now
--- End code ---
to reboot. Problem solved for me.
Edit; more info here because I added the edgers repo to my Ubuntu 14.04LTS minimal iso install repositories.

--- Quote ---3. Setup the xorg-edgers ppa
The xorg-edgers ppa provides the very latest nvidia drivers. Run the following commands to set it up.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa -y
$ sudo apt-get update
Now the ppa is setup and the package information is also updated.

I'd check your repos 1st monkeyman to make sure you don't already have edgers ppa already installed 1st with

Other members feel free to reply as mine was done on a Minimal Ubuntu 14.04LTS "Icewm" Desktop computer and
my way may not apply to how Linux-Lite Handles a Nouveua and Nvidia xorg glitch.
