Comment 5 for bug 1729736

Concerning the support of Nvidia GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] by the 'nouveau' module of Linux kernels :

- Before kernel v4.12, it was NOT supported at all.

- Beginning with kernel v4.12, I could NOT install Ubuntu 17.10 Beta at all, so I suppose that the current issue was present.

- After reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1723619/comments/24
   I succeeded installing Unbuntu 17.10 Artful with following addition at the end of the boot line :
   modprobe.blacklist=nouveau -- modprobe.blacklist=nouveau

With Linux kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline :

- I already wrote that Linux kernel 4.14.0-041400rc7 seems to succeed.

- I just tested Linux kernel 4.14.0-041400rc8 : Systematically, as soon as I try 'lspci -nn -v -s 1:0.0', the whole machine immediately freezes. That is a regression compared to v4.14-rc7.
