I just ran some checks and stumbled across this:

$ grep drv\.so /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 19390.727] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
[ 19390.727] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
[ 19390.728] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so

[ 19390.819] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so

As I remember correctly, up to natty there was only the nvidia-driver loaded.
I have no idea why both the nouveau as well as the vesa driver are loaded too now.

I guess Jockey checks /var/log/Xorg.0.log to detect what driver is in use and is confused that three different video drivers are loaded.

Full xorg log attached.
