Public bug reported:
In intrepid alpha 4, jockey can now install nvidia driver and enable it
without restarting X. Actually, after installing restricted nvidia
drivers, jockey report that nvidia driver is in use, but in the reality,
it's not the case, nvidia driver is not enabled and the only apparent
way to load it is to restart Xorg.
Below is what appears in dmesg after installing the driver through jockey.

Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nvidia
Steps to reproduce :
1. Have a nvidia card that works with the restricted nvidia driver.
2. Install nvidia driver through jockey.
3. type "glxinfo | grep direct" in a terminal to see if nvidia driver is
properly installed (should say Yes if it's the case).

Importance: Undecided
