You'll have to reinstall it using apt-get in case you want to the proprietary nVidia driver is a requirement for this. Therefore, attempting to install the Ubuntu nouveau package will remove the nvidia-glx-* package from the system, making your installation of the proprietary nVidia driver unusable. Nvidia's proprietary libglx module is incompatible to the standard libglx module which is needed for free and open-source drivers such as nouveau. Warning for older releases (before Oneric?) You don't need to uninstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. Restore your backup copy of nf, or edit it to change the Driver from "nouveau" to "nvidia". Click "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)". Go to System Settings / Additional Drivers. To revert these changes, just do the opposite. The minimal /etc/X11/nf file, which you should try, if you encounter any problems, is: Section "Device" Edit /etc/X11/nf to change the Driver from "nvidia" to "nouveau". With all of these proprietary drivers deactivated and the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package installed, it will automatically use nouveau. Click the activated driver, which is probably "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)". To switch to nouveau, go to System Settings / Additional Drivers. It won't uninstall the proprietary nvidia drivers. Install the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package. Note: For hints for building nouveau on Ubuntu, see UbuntuTips Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric
