Bug Description

jockey-text -l shows only nvidia-304 available, despite that I could found nvidia-340 from apt-get.

$ jockey-text --list
xorg:nvidia_304 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use)

According to the release note from NVIDIA [1], K5000M was supported in 340.98 as well.

I was using nvidia-340.93, which works well. However nvidia-304 will make my launcher disappear.
