Title:
  jockey doesn't detect discrete nvidia in lenovo t420 (NO OPTIMUS)

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
