A few days ago, a new kernel arrived: 2.6.38-11. Since this kernel, the proprietary nvidia-driver has come back to work. But jockey-output still is a fals-output, since it reports, that this driver "is activated but not in use". But this is - as I just stated - a wrong output! This driver works.
This can be checked through several ways:
first way: open your Nvdia-settings and check the version there.
The third trick is this: again open your Terminal and type in this:
sudo lshw -C display
The Output of this again should also look something similar to the output shown on the link above. So you see, the driver works, but jockey still reports a wrong output. So it comes clearer now, that this is a wrong stating of jockey-gtk and that we are faced with a bug in jockey-gtk which needs to be fixed as it can lead to confusion.
hi people,
can confirm this here in LinuxMint 11.

/usr/lib/ nux/unity_ support_ test -p
