Bug#1014304: nvidia-tesla-450-driver: Not all hardware works with nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470

[David Headland]

Hi Andreas,

I'll have to say, I didn't even think to try something newer after the 
problems I'd had last time. I do apologise, that was my mistake. 510 
seems to work a treat, thanks very much indeed for suggesting it — 
please feel free to ignore my previous comments!

All the best,
-David.
