Hi everyone,

I work with a Lenovo ThinkStation E32 with a Lenovo Monitor ThinkVision LT2252P(1680x1050)
The graphic card is a NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti]

Up to now I worked with UBUNTU 15.04 and KUBUNTU 15.04 with no graphic
problems.

After changing from 15.04 to 15.10 (complete new installations no upgrade) I have problems
with the above mentioned card. The screen crashes already during the installation and the 
screen resolution changes to a lower value.  (both for VGA and DVI-D)

So I returned to the 15.04 UBUNTU versions.

When do you expect the nouveau driver can handle this card for the UBUNtTU and KUBUNTU
15.10 versions?

(15.10 UBUNTU and KUBUNTU work fine if I switch to the onboard VGA
graphics)

Bug description:
  Until yesterday the 14.04 install on this Thinkpad T530 (nvidia
  Optimus) with nvidia-331 drivers worked just fine, including excellent
  multi-monitor behavior. Yesterday the set of packages below [1] was
  updated. I shut down, booted this morning and found out that I was not
  shown the lightdm login screen: I was stuck at the purple screen that
  precedes it (into which I enter my disk encryption password).

  Now the funny thing is that I could hear the lightdm startup sound and
  could actually login by typing my password (disk activity and started
  processes verify I am actually logged in), but I can't see anything:
  I'm still stuck at the puple screen.

  Uninstalling the nvidia drivers solved the problem: I'm typing this in
  a browser window using the nouveau drivers.

  I atttempted switching to nvidia-304, but that doesn't work either.
  Using those drivers I am shown the lightdm login screen, but after
  logging in I'm stuck with a screen showing only the background image.
  Nothing else is available, no keyboard or mouse trickery will reveal
  any menu, dialog or terminal to gain access.

  Since nouveau doesn't support a multi-monitor setup, it would be great
  if I someone could tell me how to get the nvidia drivers working
  again.

  Some things I noticed:
  - .xsession-errors reported 'Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"'
  - /var/log/Xorg.0.log reported 'setversion 1.4 failed: Permission denied'
