Comment 1 for bug 396051

Confirmed this is still an issue (ran into it myself testing the new driver), however solving it is not quite so trivial. This is one of the reasons Jockey is provided for installing these drivers. But I'll leave the bug open as a wishlist for making it possible to install the drivers using just the debs alone.

(Probably the way to do it would be to make xorg-server detect and autoconfigure the things that jockey is doing via xorg.conf)
