Public bug reported:
On this vostro, the default is the intel driver using the intel
graphics. However, Jockey tells me that nvidia current is enabled and
in use, but no matter what I can't get X to actually load the nVidia
driver.
This could be a case where the nVidia GPU is just disabled (some of the
recent dells have this issue) but the certifications for this model do
not mention GPU issues at all.
