Comment 3 for bug 96819

The restricted manager did install the nvidia-glx-legacy! So I checked the xorg.conf, and it appears to be using it (using nvidia instead of nv). I checked the restricted manager again and the status is still (even after restart):

"Needs computer restart."

So either the status isn't getting updated properly (since I did restart the computer), or the driver isn't being enabled correctly (OpenGL stuff is really slow).

Just checked glxinfo and it says:

name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
...

So the status doesn't appear to be getting updated. I guess the speed issues I'll have to take up with nvidia, lol. This is with no manual xorg.conf hacking, I used 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' for any changes.
