Bug Description

After upgrading to Hardy Heron 8.04, my nvidia drivers would not load. Restricted driver manager shows driver installed but not in use. Card is a GeForce 5200. I reinstalled the drivers to no avail. Here is copy of my xorg.conf file:

Thanks for the bug report! Could you please post an output of the following command:
glxinfo | grep vendor

This will at least help us identify if the bug actually belongs to the restricted-manager package.

In this case, the drivers are actually working (you can try them out with "glxgears" command), but restricted manager thinks they're not loaded.
