Just use gedit to open this file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search for nvidia.
I managed to uninstall the nouveau xorg drivers, and now I'm using vesa... but somehow nouveau is like a virus you can't get ride of. I blacklisted the module but it's being loaded anyway by other modules, so the nvidia drivers from the official web page are not letting me install it. if you try to remove the nouveau kernel module from synaptic... it tries to remove half the system!!! why is that? half Ubuntu depends on libdrm-nouveau1a? what's the trick? how do you unload that module to install the official binary package? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771788 Title: nVidia driver activated and apparently being used but reported as not being used by jockey-gtk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/jockey/+bug/771788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
