Bug Description

nVidia 310M GPUs no longer supported. Supported driver not available in repository.

nVidia driver version 256.53 supports 310M cards, but Ubuntu have updated 260.x, which does not (supports 320M upwards). This in itself is not a huge problem, it's the fact that a user can't easily roll back as 256.53 as it's no longer available in the repository.
