[Francois D <ubuntuone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm checking in if there is any progress on this. I tried installing the
Nvidia drivers point to the nVidia website in the link above. The
installation went fine but it's not using the nVidia driver. I followed
the instruction of running nvidia-xconfig but it doesn't change
anything.

I would love to be able to use the drivers that comes with Mint or
Ubuntu but any attempt in installing a distro that uses a kernel higher
than 3.18 gives similar issues.

Thanks

Title:
  NVIDIA GM108M [10de:1341] got frozen screen with kernel 3.19

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
   ~ $ uname -a
  Linux user-Aspire-VN7-571G 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

   $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela
  Release:	17.2

  I installed kernel 3.19 to solve the problems which are reported under
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383184. At least I could solve this.

  Since that time it occurs from time to time, that the screen freezes
  no matter which application I am just running. The only way out is to
  press the power bottom and to restart the computer.
