Comment 28 for bug 777493

hi Martin Ueding,

froum your Output, I can see, that you do not have the proprietary driver
installed, but the opensource-driver nouveau.
Look at this line in your Output:

configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0

For getting things to work correctly, you need to install the proprietary
driver.

For this, go to the controlcenter and there go to additional drivers. Then
activate the proprietary driver.
This uninstalls the nouveau-driver. And in my eyes, the nouveau-driver is
really dangerous, because with this,
the graphuccard turns way to hot.

After having installed the proprietary driver, you need to reboot your
machine to get the driver working. Attention:
the Output of jockey is still wrong. But in my further postings, I gave
hints, how to check, that the driver is
working and to show you, that this is not a bug in nvidia anymore but in
jockey-gtk.
So look at my previous postings for checking, that your driver is working
correctly.

Greetings
Linuxexperte
