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

 

I think this is related. I am a linux newbie, so I am not 100% sure.
Anyway I was attempting to use WebGL, but I found out that it was either
disabled or unavailable. Anyway, I went through the logs for Jockey and
found the following.

I am running this on 11.04 with an Nvidia 310M, and I am not really sure
what I need to do to get this fixed.

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.
