Yes, indeed it should be marked as enabled afterwards, so that's a bug.
It checks the following things in order to consider a driver as enabled:
- xorg.conf must have Driver "nvidia", which seems to be the case
according to comment 5
- if xorg.conf is invalid (syntax error, etc.), it is regarded as
"disabled". This isn't the case here (with your xorg.conf)
- the package nvidia-glx-96 is installed; does "dpkg -s nvidia-glx-96"
succeed and show you the package description?
- the module nvidia is not blacklisted (I don't think that's the
case); this should give no results:
grep -r 'blacklist.*nvidia' /etc/modprobe.d
- the nvidia module is available; does "modinfo nvidia" succeed and
show you the module description?
I suspect that the last item fails, and the module is not available, but
I'll wait for your answer before theoretizing further. Thanks!
