Same problem on my Mac Mini with a GeForce 9400 chipset, I'm running Natty 64 bits :

$ lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400] (rev b1)

$ dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia

ii nvidia-current 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
ii nvidia-settings 270.29-0ubuntu1 Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

$ glxinfo | grep render

What I really don't understand is that it was working perfectly fine at first. It's been one or two days that the driver is displayed as "installed but not in use" and that I boot in Gnome "classic" environment.
