"nouveau is an open-source driver that is used as default, and it will not appear in jockey, which only lists restricted/additional drivers"
I quite don't understand why should it be restricted to additional drivers? If somebody installs restricted driver which causes problems and makes it impossible to load graphic environment she or he is stuck being unable to easily change driver back to opensource one. Beside it was very surprising for me not to find nouveau driver in the jockey-text since it is available in the GUI tool provided with Ubuntu (not Jockey but the one in "software sources"). -- 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/728784 Title: no nouveau driver in jockey list Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have no choice between nvidia driver and nouveau in jockey list, only nvidia-current.
