My apologies. You should remove nvidia-173. I was not aware of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-173/+bug/948053
It looks like you're limited to open-source nouveau driver on Precise unless Nvidia decides to update their legacy driver for compatibility with later Xserver. If you demand nvidia binary driver, you'll either have to use an older version of Ubuntu or hack in the old Xserver to precise as suggested in that bug report (that's not recommended, but if you're adventurous...). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990539 Title: Jockey incorrectly offers nvidia-current for Geforce FX/5k-series cards Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and installed all nvidia drivers, but my drivers are not activated, when I open Nvidia settings manager I get the following message: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.
