Comment 5 for bug 779521

Hi,

I have the same problem in a Dell XPS15 L502X system. What I found is that after installing via "Additional drivers" the the module is not loaded neither found in the system with modprobe

root@ABequer:/dev# lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 10709116 0
root@ABequer:/dev# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
