[Bug 775862] [NEW] Installing nvidia-current and still no Unity (driver didn't load, even on reboot)

 

Public bug reported:

Installed Natty to a Lenovo T510.  The nouveau drive was
installed/loaded by default, and that has issues with 3d acceleration,
thus, I get the old classic instead of Unity.

So I ran jockey and installed the nvidia-current driver instead.
However, after install, Jockey says that the driver is activated but not
currently in use.

I've rebooted a couple of times and each time, nouveau is still loaded,
not nvidia current.

I think that the issue is that nouveau is still present. I'm about to
purge it and try again, but jockey should have taken care of this for me
when it installed nvidia-current anyway.
