Public bug reported: On a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04, Jockey does not detect my very old NVIDIA grapics card. I also do not know how to find out which card it is since Ubuntu does not display it. It is roughly 8 years old.
Note that this is a regression from older versions. In 11.04 everything still worked fine using the proprietary NVIDIA driver. I'd be glad to help out with this bug.
