Wrong nVidia drivers offered by default #1

Closed Willdrick closed 7 years ago

TL;DR DoFlicky should show at least the 340 version for the GeForce 650ti cards. Currently only offering 304.

After a fresh install I went to the software centre and updated everything. Next reboot I opened up DoFlicky to install the nVidia drivers but it was only showing the 304.131 version, which is much older than the >340 I use to install. After installation I rebooted and found that my mouse clicks weren't registering. I could see the cursor and move it but not click. Installed 340 release through eopkg and solved the driver issue.

yeah driver stuff is being fixed up to be less derpy.. i.e. avoid these detection issues
