Hi,

I was asked to test the proposed fix. I did so by installing Ubuntu 14.04 desktop on a Dell Latitude 3440 which has an Intel Haswell chipset, as well as an NVidia GK208M (Geforce GT 740M), PCI ID 10de:1292.

With the clean system as described, I enabled -proposed from software centre. Then I did apt-get update and apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common (it installed version 1:0.2.91.6).

after that I used software centre's "additional drivers" tab to install "NVidia binary driver - nvidia-331-updates".

THen I rebooted and checked which driver is in use, it's "nvidia" and not "nouveau" as previously.

I'm attaching my gpu-manager.log after I did all this.

I'm unsure if this testing is adequate; but my system is used for testing only so I'm happy to retry and/or reinstall anything needed.
