Still asks me for a restart, so I had a look at the source...

From a quick glance through the code (so let me know if I'm off anywhere), it appears it asks for a restart when the "is_enabled" and "is_loaded" are not equal.

"is_enabled" looks at the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-restricted", which I looked for and couldn't find. I have blacklist, blacklist-framebuffer, blacklist-modem, blacklist-oss, blacklist-scanner, blacklist-watchdog... but no blacklist-restricted. However when I view the restricted-manager, it has a check mark for enabled, so maybe there's some custom code I'm missing.

"is_loaded" looks at the file "/proc/modules" which I checked and found this line:
nvidia 3930348 12 - Live 0xf8f30000 (P)

So... maybe just wait till the new nvidia-legacy driver (9631 I think) is added and see if that fixes it? Probably the best option. But if you want me to run some tests or scripts or something just let me know.
