[Bug 927558] [NEW] jockey doesn't detect discrete nvidia in lenovo t420 (NO OPTIMUS)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a T420 lenovo (hardware info attached). I selected "nvidia
discrete graphics" in the BIOS, so no "optimus" is in play, and jockey
won't offer me the option of using the proprietary driver. It will just
say "No proprietary drivers are in use on this sytem" in a blank window.
