[Bug 771788] Re: nVidia driver activated and apparently being used but reported as not being used by jockey-gtk

 

I've updated to new jockey-gtk 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 that fix the previous
crash on Oneiric i386, but now no driver found when "additional drivers"
is run: the list is empty.

oem@oem-desktop:~$ sudo jockey-gtk

Bug description:
  I'm running Unity without major issues and apparently using the nvidia
  proprietary current driver, but in System Settings -> Hardware ->
  Additional driver the nvidia driver shows as activated but not being
  used.

  I'm attaching xorg.conf, I also use a dual monitor setup but I think
  this is not relevant.
