nvidia-173 for hybrid system

_dan_, indeed we don't show the nvidia driver if the intel card is
active, as at least in the past the nvidia driver was not compatible
with the intel one. There has been some work in that area, I'll ask
Alberto about the current state.

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Invalid

** Summary changed:

- Additional Drivers won't show option to install proper nvidia drivers
+ Does not show nvidia driver if intel card is active

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:
