[Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick

 

I reverted the patch in jockey that ignores nvidia-96 and put it into
the PPA.

If jockey still doesn't automatically update the xorg.conf file then do
this:

1.  Ensure that the nvidia-common package is installed.  Jockey needs
nvidia-common to detect nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 hardware.

2.  Backup and delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

3.  Toggle the driver in System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers.
(eg:  Deactivate, Activate)

4.  Check the /var/log/jockey.log file for warnings and errors.  This
log file is usually empty unless something is glitched.
