[Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I debugged this on a machine of an affected user, but on natty. The
nvidia handler calls this code to check whether the driver is in use:

        return KernelModuleHandler.module_loaded(self._module_alias) and \
               self._alternatives.resolve_module_alias(self._module_alias) == self.module and \
               (self.package is None or OSLib.inst.package_installed(self.package))

where
   self._module_alias == nvidia
   self.module == nvidia_current
   module_loaded() returns True (correctly)
   self.package == nvidia-current
   package_installed() returns True (correctly)

so the thing that fails here is
self._alternatives.resolve_module_alias(self._module_alias), which
returns None.

Seems this is a bug in nvidia-common then, reassigning and handing over
to Alberto. This might well be fixed in oneiric, so it would still be
nice if someone could test this on current oneiric.

Thanks!
