Well done! But this is rather a bug on th side of the nvidia driver. It's not so unusual to have several X drivers installed. Another example besides systems with two graphics cards is a (real) X client/server setup:
Say you have (like us) a server and several different thin clients making X connections across the network, the server needs to have the X drivers for all the graphics cards of the different clients installed (at least if you want to have graphics acceleration via GLX). Now, if one of the clients happens to have an nvidia card, the server needs to run the nvidia X server to get acceleration for this client. This breaks acceleration for all clients with other graphics cards. This is a huge problem in, for example, the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). Since the real cause is the broken nvidia driver, is there any chance of asking the guys at NVidia to fix this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885204 Title: Recommending proprietary driver on hybrid systems can break 3D To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/885204/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
