Bug Description

The driver appears to be working fine but does not show as being in use in "Additional Drivers" (i.e. jockey-gtk).
I have seen this listed elsewhere but fixed for Lucid ages ago so it may be a regression.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/547066

I do get compiz effects like wobbly windows and nouveau is not loaded (lsmod | grep -i nouveau) so I am presuming this driver IS in use.
