Com base na resposta de Abraham Lopez, fiz o seguinte:
sudo lshw -C video
Resultado (veja a segunda última linha @ configuration
):
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: GF108GL [Quadro 600]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
version: a1
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0
resources: irq:59 memory:f9000000-f9ffffff memory:e0000000-e7ffffff memory:ee000000-efffffff ioport:9f00(size=128) memory:e8000000-e807ffff
Então eu fiz:
sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Seguido por:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-331-updates -f
Após uma reinicialização, corri sudo lshw -C video
novamente:
