Public bug reported:
Nvidia's hybrid graphics technology "Optimus" (combines GeForce with an
Intel graphics chip) is currently not supported in the Nvidia Linux
drivers. When you install the drivers Ubuntu won't startup into graphics
mode anymore. If you don't install the Nvidia drivers Ubuntu just uses
the Intel graphics, and everything works fine.
The bug: when you install Ubuntu on a PC with Nvidia Optimus, jockey
recommends you install the (non-working) Nvidia drivers.
Solution: detect Optimus and only recommend the Nvidia drivers when it's
not present.
Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 final.
** Affects: jockey (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
