Testing procedure:
1. Uninstalled Derik's repository & installs (purged nvidia* (sudo apt-get
purge nvidia*) and jockey-common & jockey-gtk) and reinstalled jockey-common &
jockey-gtk 0.5.10-0ubuntu5.2 proposed.
2. Rebooted w/o nvidia in low graphics mode - perhaps because I purged nvidia*?
3. System|Administration|Additional Drivers - jocky does not find the nvidia-96
drivers.
4. Reinstall nvidia-96 manually: sudo apt-get install nvidia-96... reboot.
System|Administration|Additional Drivers shows nvidia-96 proprietary driver is
activated & currently in use.
5. System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects|Extra - works (basic wobbly
windows etc). System|Administration|NVIDIA X Server Settings works.
6. Install compiz-settings-manager. System|Preferences|CompizConfig Settings
Manager - cube & rotate cube works.
The only part that bothers me is the initial failure of jockey to
recognize & offer to install the nvidia-96 driver. While this may
possibly be related to my purging nvidia*, jockey should (IMO) still
detect the card following the clean reboot. So, until someone can
explain why it does not: nvidia-96 96.43.19-0ubuntu1 works, but jockey
0.5.10-0ubuntu5.2 does not.
