[Bug 1126234] Re: Does not show nvidia driver if intel card is active

[Martin Pitt]

Alberto says that with the latest nvidia-prime packages it actually
behaves sensibly with hybrid. Assigning to you, for either adjusting the
logic yourself, or giving me some sketch how it should behave (then I'm
happy to assist in implementing it).

Bug description:
  Since 12.10 i am unable to install the nvidia drivers via the gui, update-manager settings (Software Sources -> Additional Drivers) will not give me an option to install, just shows an empty list.
  jockey-text returns an empty list aswell
  "jockey-text 
  Additional Drivers
  Searching for available drivers...
  "
  jockey-kde on the other hand shows a list of 6 drivers with the same title.

  lspci|grep VGA shows me:
