Public bug reported:
After installing the restricted nvidia-drivers and rebooting the driver
would fail to load and Ubuntu would revert to the failsafe graphics.
In synaptic I saw Ubuntu installed nvidia-current (version 195.36.15
...) but mixed a few different versions of other packages with it
(nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-glx-173)
I tried installing the correct packages (nvidia-glx-185 and such (which
is version 195.36.15; very confusing))
Now the driver says it's "enabled but not in use".
I thought about changing the xorg.conf file myself, but I haven't had to
open one in a year or so and now it appears an xorg.conf file is no
longer necessary.
