michael, you are right. Jockey is not showing the drivers as being in
use, my fix doesn't try to do that. I just pointed to a workaround to be
able to use nvidia drivers in systems that were not being able to load
the driver at all, where jockey was failing 100% to enable the driver.

A few hours ago I wasn't able to use unity at all, with or without
jockey. and the "automatic" installation from "Additional Drivers" was
not working. Now I can use the drivers from the official nvidia site, so
basically I don't have to worry if jockey likes that or not. They are
working and I can manually update them whenever I want :)

As I can see from your Xorg.0.log, you have a different situation,
because Xorg IS using nvidia drivers in your setup (this wasn't my
case), but jockey is ignoring it.

In summary, there are two bugs:
* Automatic installation is NOT enabling nvidia drivers and nouveau is being used even when the user explicitly tries to disable it (you can use the fix I posted to install the drivers)
* Automatic installation is enabling nvidia drivers but it's showing them as not being used.
