Works OK on nvidia-current on GTX750 and GTX960 on x86_64

Seems to work fine too through bumblebee on my optimus laptop, x86_64.

In VirtualBox, M5, KDE, 64-bit

Package(s) under test:
nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest

default install of nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest

Boots to a working desktop. Screen sizes are correct. Vbox runs M5 i586 Live-CD as a client.

install nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest from updates_testing

reboot system

Shall try this out on real 64bit hardware, mga5.

mga5 x86_64

Installed the desktop versions but missed out the devel packages and nvidia-current-cuda-opencl.  Installed them after the reboot and will reboot again.

Meanwhile:

$ lspci -k

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Palit Microsystems Inc. Device 1184
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
	Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_current

nvidia-settings shows that the new driver is in place and everything looks OK.

The GTX 770 drives a 3k monitor via DVI.
Repeated the tests on another 64bit machine driving a 4k monitor on DisplayPort.
No problems.

$ lspci -k

Added MGA5-64-OK from Comment 6.
