michael, you are right. Jockey is not showing the drivers as being in use, my fix doesn't try to do that. I just pointed to a workaround to be able to use nvidia drivers in systems that were not being able to load the driver at all, where jockey was failing 100% to enable the driver.
A few hours ago I wasn't able to use unity at all, with or without jockey. and the "automatic" installation from "Additional Drivers" was not working. Now I can use the drivers from the official nvidia site, so basically I don't have to worry if jockey likes that or not. They are working and I can manually update them whenever I want :) As I can see from your Xorg.0.log, you have a different situation, because Xorg IS using nvidia drivers in your setup (this wasn't my case), but jockey is ignoring it. In summary, there are two bugs: * Automatic installation is NOT enabling nvidia drivers and nouveau is being used even when the user explicitly tries to disable it (you can use the fix I posted to install the drivers) * Automatic installation is enabling nvidia drivers but it's showing them as not being used. -- 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
