Surely I am not using all these drivers all at the same time, but the log says that I loaded them, with nvidia being the last one.

I did blacklist the nouveau driver as per the instructions on a previous thread in the forums, by adding nvidia.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/ and putting in the 2 lines: blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0

However, I notice that now after running the installation, the options line has disappeared in that file.

So is there a better way to determine which driver I am actually using?

glxinfo nvidia-settings (will only indicate nvidia, or not) hwinfo --gfxcard

and probably others

Great! That's it, I am running with the nvidia driver now. Thanks again to everyone for help. I learned quite a bit through this one. -- G.O.
