Bug Description
This is on a clean install on natty.
nVidia Corporation G84M [Quadro NVS 140M] (rev a1)
By default is was running the nouveau driver without 3D acceleration.
Running jockey-gtk showed three options then:
- Proprietary nVidia driver (version 173)
- Current version of that driver (recommended)
- experimental 3D support
When installing and activating the recommended driver I was running Compiz and Unity but noticed a certain lag, so I checked via Compiz-Check what driver I was using and it told me still nouveau. Obviously with 3D acceleration now.
Jaunty told me, that the proprietary driver was "activated but not currently in use". There was no option to use it, only remove.
The third option was gone.
Same happens when starting from scratch and activating the 173 one (see screenshot).
At no stage I told jockey to install the experimental driver but since I am running Unity it obviously installed that one (instead?)

Sorry, I obviously meant »Jockey told me, that the proprietary driver was "activated but not currently in use". «
Not Jaunty. -_-
