[Bug 2138861] [NEW] Additional Drivers mentions Xorg with the Nouveau driver option

[Daniel van Vugt]

Public bug reported:

Additional Drivers lists this as the only way to select the Nouveau
driver:

  "Using X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-
video-nouveau"

So the text is wrong. Choosing this option DOES give you Nouveau, which
is a Mesa and kernel driver, but it has nothing to do with Xorg anymore.
Just call it Nouveau or "Nouveau from Mesa" if you want to be clear
where it comes from.
