Cannot get the Nvidia Geforce GT 540M graphics card to handle all my
graphics on my Dell XPS L502x with intel i7-2670QM and 8GB DDR3 RAM. The
Nvidia driver appeared in the additional derivers, but on installing,
and then rebooting, it just disappeared. The additional drivers list is
empty.

Bug description:
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and installed all nvidia drivers, but my
