Maybe tmb will comment on this but I think the nvidia drivers does
not work in kernel-tmb. vesa should be fine. Next time I power up
my test computer I check on nouveau.

Olivier:

Are you using the kmod drivers or dkms?  Previous releases of the tmb kernels have worked with the dkms modules--I haven't had the chance to look at the current release.

CC: (none) => wrw105

nvidia drivers should work, but you need the dmks-nvidia* as we only prebuild modules for core kernel...

I am using dkms-nvidia-current (319.60). This driver doesn't list my graphic card as supported (GTX 750), only GTX 750M for laptop

I had the same problem with previous kernel (3-10-50) so this is not new for me nor a regression. I had just hoped that the new kernel would allow me to at least use the nouveau driver.

I can use the official driver on nvidia site which installs well but it is not advised to do so if I want to test packages with this installation.

Advisory:
This kernel-tmb update is based on upstream -longterm 3.10.58 and
fixes the following security issues:

The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux
kernel through 3.16.1 miscalculates the number of pages during the
handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to (1)
cause a denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly
have unspecified other impact by triggering a large gfn value or
(2) cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by
triggering a small gfn value that leads to permanently pinned
pages (CVE-2014-3601).

The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation
in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not
properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to
cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system
crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple
"keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout"
operation (CVE-2014-3631).

The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel
through 3.17 does not properly interact with certain locations of
a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of
service (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments to
the pivot_root system call (CVE-2014-7970).

The do_umount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel 
through 3.17 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for
do_remount_sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only,
which allows local users to cause a denial of service (loss of
writability) by making certain unshare system calls, clearing the
/ MNT_LOCKED flag, and making an MNT_FORCE umount system call
(CVE-2014-7975).

For other fixes included in this update, read the referenced 
changelogs.
