Public bug reported:
I'm trying to get nvidia-properitary drivers to work on my Lenovo w520.
After successfully installing the drivers I do a reboot. x-server then loads
with what seems to be a failsafe mode.
Nvidia-settings reports that I don't appear to be running an nvidia driver, and
hints to run nvidia-xconfig.
This application does not exist. (locate nvidia-xconfig returns no results as
well. )
dpkg -l|grep nvidia

Any idea on what I have to do to get the nvidia-drivers working?
