Title:
  Nouveau error "unknown chipset" on start. NVIDIA GT 840M

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  So... seems it is impossible to make a GT 840M work on Ubuntu. Nouveau
  says "chipset unknown, drm failed". The official driver gives a pink
  screen. The driver from the repository fails because some counter > 1.

  Sorry for not being more precise. Have reinstalled Ubuntu 4 times
  allready in 1 day and Im kind of demotivated to do it again and take
  pics or whatever.
