hi people,

can confirm this here in LinuxMint 11.

A few days ago, a new kernel arrived: 2.6.38-11. Since this kernel, the
proprietary nvidia-driver has come back to work. But jockey-output still
is a fals-output, since it reports, that this driver "is activated but
not in use". But this is - as I just stated - a wrong output! This
driver works.

This can be checked through several ways:

first way: open your Nvdia-settings and check the version there.

second way: open your terminal and type in this:

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

The Output of this should look something similar to the one here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/37084/nvidia-driver-activated-but-
currently-not-in-use

The third trick is this: again open your Terminal and type in this:

sudo lshw -C display

The Output of this again should also look something similar to the
output shown on the link above. So you see, the driver works, but jockey
still reports a wrong output. So it comes clearer now, that this is a
wrong stating of jockey-gtk and that we are faced with a bug in jockey-
gtk which needs to be fixed as it can lead to confusion.

Greetings
