Title:
  Unity not working, even though the nvidia-current driver shown as
  activated

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Additional hardware drivers... options show that the Nvidia current
  driver is activated - no mention of it not being used (which was the
  case in Natty).

  Still, there is no graphics acceleration - Unity is not working, but
  Unity2D launches instead, even though the login session is set to
  normal Ubuntu.

  When launching nvidia-settings, this message is shown: "You do not
  appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X
  configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart
  the X server." (I tried following these instructions back in Natty and
  they didn't work)

  I tried activating the other driver option - nvidia-current-updates,
  but with the same effect.

  I hope a fix for this will come out soon so that I can use my graphics
  card in Ubuntu.
