Bug Description

Additional hardware drivers... options show that the Nvidia current driver is activated - no mention of it not being used (which was the case in Natty).

Still, there is no graphics acceleration - Unity is not working, but Unity2D launches instead, even though the login session is set to normal Ubuntu.

When launching nvidia-settings, this message is shown: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." (I tried following these instructions back in Natty and they didn't work)

I tried activating the other driver option - nvidia-current-updates, but with the same effect.

I hope a fix for this will come out soon so that I can use my graphics card in Ubuntu.
