There is a bug in Jockey in that once a proprietary driver has been
installed, then the Nouveau driver (Listed as Experimental 3D)
disappears never to return!. Apparently you have to uninstall and purge
the nvidia drivers and reset xorg.conf to get the Nouveau one back in
the list, so it can be activated. See
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046504.

I am not using natty myself, just test driving it (to try out Unity
mainly). So I am happy to run debug stuff and fixes, but only with a
view to help Canonical to get natty working properly.
