Public bug reported:
Installing the nvidia driver was non-trivial: Just running
"Administration"->"Hardware drivers" and activating the current nvidia
driver and rebooting did not change anything.
What I had to do afterwards:
- build the module with sudo dkms build -m nvidia-current -v 195.36.24
- install the module with sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 195.36.24
- make a new xorg.conf with nvidia-xsettings, otherwise nouveau will still be
used
- reboot (actually: restart X)
What I'd expect:
- the driver is installed and activated automatically by jockey.
(Just as a remark: I need the nvidia driver because nouveau does not
play audio over HDMI)
I'm running maverick, updated from lucid.
Greetings,
Dieter
