Public bug reported:
hi
I used the automated GUI tool to select the proprietary driver
nvidia-367
but Xorg was not using the nvidia driver, claiming that
[ 11.041] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[ 11.045] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[ 11.045] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[ 11.045] (II) Unloading nvidia
[ 11.045] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
To solve the problem, I
# ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-367/xorg/nvidia_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
now Xorg find the driver and it works fine.
BTW , I have had to apply this fix many times in the past.
a.
