I GET 270.41.06 IN NVIDIA XSERVER SETTINGS IN LSPCI -V it just says
Kernel driver in use: nvidia and under it says Kernel modules:

what I thought I wanted loaded and I thought that was the 270 but it
seems not to be the one it is using. In additional drivers program it
says that nvidia-current is loaded but not being used. So I don't know.


Jockey should show you the recommended driver for your video
card/adapter. Did you try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet, as I wrote
before?? If so, what happened? Ric

Baby steps, Ric, baby steps..... :-( .

How about recommending that this be read as a starter:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video ?

I did do baby steps... if the xorg.conf file ain't right, nothing
happens. So, I asked if the attempt was made. Then what happened? You
know, the usual.

But, if his system doesn't want to allow that nVidia card to work, ala
eMachine, it's gonna be tougher. I feel the OP's pain though. But,
without that edit to xorg.conf, jockey will correctly report that though
the driver is loaded, and it's not being used because xorg.conf didn't
tell the system to use it. Simple. When he cut and pasted his copy it
showed nvidia wasn't being used. Ergo, it ain't and won't be used until
the edit makes it happen. >>IMHO<<
:) Ric

Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't use an xorg.conf file by default. It will if you
create one; I do on one of my systems for AddARGBLXVisuals but it's
generally not required.
