[Bryce Harrington <800479@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[The issue that is prompting installation of -nvidia is periodic screen corruption with -nouveau:]
<jasoncwarner_> what I'm seeing is this
my screen flickers, then I can't click on any window, then I get graphic 
defects in the indicators and active window
what I need to do then is grab the active window and move it around the display to get it to redraw
this happens maybe once or twice a day
<jasoncwarner_> the annoying thing is it seemingly happens at random


** Description changed:

  I get the message "This driver is activated but not currently in use" in
  jockey when I try to use my nvidia driver. I tried removing it and
  reinstalling, but after reboot it still gave me this message.

+ <jasoncwarner_> jaytaoko is seeing the same thing on his nvidia natty
+ system
