I'm trying this out with jockey-gtk-0.9.2-0ubuntu3pitti1 on Natty dev
(2011-03-29) with nvidia-current-270.30-0ubuntu3

 * No xorg.conf (-> nouveau)  
=> passed (default setup, a noop)

* enable nvidia in jockey (-> proprietary) 
=> passed, but thinks it fails
jockey.log shows: (also attached the tail of the log)
nvidia_current the driver is not installed in all of the relevant device 
sections
After reboot, jockey shows: 'A different version of this driver is in use'

* disable nvidia.ko (-> nouveau, this bug report), 
=> passed, Xorg.0.log simply warns: Nouveau(0): Option "NoLogo" is not used

re-renable nvidia.ko (-> nvidia)
=> passed

disable nvidia in jockey (-> back to no xorg.conf, nouveau), 
=> failed
Since Jockey doesn't acknowledge that nvidia is running, I cannot 'Remove' it.
I try to 'Activate' it again, even though it's already running, jockey.log 
shows same error from install:
nvidia_current the driver is not installed in all of the relevant device 
sections
I close jockey. I manually add 'Driver "nvidia"' to xorg.conf to see if this is 
recognized.
Jockey still show 'A different version of this driver is in use". Try to 
'Activate' again. 
Same jockey.log error: 
nvidia_current the driver is not installed in all of the relevant device 
sections

I haven't yet tested the scenario involving an existing xorg.conf, as
I'm not yet able to uninstall nvidia via jockey.

And while I'm here a small question: if no xorg.conf existed, then it
was subsequently customized, then nvidia is uninstalled, what happens to
those customizations? Is the xorg.conf completely removed, because there
was none at the time of install, or should the Driver simply be removed?
I can't test this yet, but wanted to keep it in mind for the next round.
