Public bug reported: I'm getting the following errors on dmesg regarding usage of nouveau. I'm trying to see if I can use the nouveau driver with my laptop running an nvidia GT 740M graphics card. nvidia-current is working however the nouveau doesn't seem to kick in and always uses the Haswell integrated graphics card.
