   Rather worrying.   
   My backup (testbed) system has Nvidia 8 / M3N78-VM on board.  On the one hand   
   it runs 15.1 with no problems as far as I can see, on the other hand that   
   machine is the reason I finally stopped stopped using Nvidia graphics on Linux   
   systems.   
   (Nouveau driver, the proprietary one has been a total bust for years on that   
   machine).
