No, Ubuntu uses a proprietary Nvidia driver.
[ 18.291] (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
[ 18.291] compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
[ 18.291] Module class: X.Org Server Extension
[ 18.291] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 295.40 Thu Apr 5 21:49:54 PDT 2012
Yes it's a laptop with a GeForce 8700M GT - about 4 or 5 yrs old.
If blacklisting nouveau disables KMS, how do I enable it before loading
nouveau? I guess I can't.
