This has nothing to do with NVIDIA's proprietary driver. If anything
it's a kernel issue, as vgaarb lives in the kernel and the nvidia driver
doesn't need it.

If you're facing any other issue with the nvidia driver, please file a
separate bug report.

Bug description:
  Basically, vga cannot detect NVIDIA cards as "VGA compatible
  controller", this is tested on a Optimus System.

  dmesg indicates that it's not a valid vga device:

  :~$ dmesg | grep vgaar
