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

 

Just use gedit to open this file  /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search for
nvidia.

I managed to uninstall the nouveau xorg drivers, and now I'm using
vesa... but somehow nouveau is like a virus you can't get ride of. I
blacklisted the module but it's being loaded anyway by other modules, so
the nvidia drivers from the official web page are not letting me install
it.

if you try to remove the nouveau  kernel module from synaptic... it
tries to remove half the system!!! why is that? half Ubuntu depends on
libdrm-nouveau1a?

what's the trick? how do you unload that module to install the official
binary package?
