[Bug 1178755] Re: Raring: nvidia-detector is not properly detecting a Geforce GT 640M

[Sami Jaktholm]

I'm reassigning this bug to ubuntu-drivers-common which does the
detection work.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a bug at all since currently the discrete
NVIDIA card can't be used with stock Ubuntu no matter which drivers are
installed. So there's no point showing entries in software-properties
that wouldn't work or even worse, might break the system...

** Package changed: software-properties (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-drivers-
common (Ubuntu)
