Title:
  nVidia GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] [10de:11fc] Connect to HDMI / DP port
  with open-source driver will cause Xorg crash

Status in Accelerated Xorg driver for nVidia cards:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  CID: 201305-13527 Dell Precision M4800

  Xorg would crash and restart (you will see the login screen again and
  again) when the HDMI / DP cable is connected to the system.

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04 + update (3.13.0-36), boot to desktop
  2. Connect a HDMI / DP cable

  Expected result:
  * The external monitor should work

  Actual result:
  * The external monitor screen is black, and the Xorg crashed -> black screen on this laptop -> login screen shows up -> black screen... repeat.

  WORKAROUND:
  * Install the proprietary nvidia driver

  I'm not sure if this should be consider as a blocker.
  But hey, we need to certified this I+N system with the proprietary driver, I think it's OK to not to call this a blocker.
