   I have a similar problem with my nVidia 8400 on-board.   
   I looked at the changelog for kernel 4.12.14-lp151-28.4.1-x86_64 (POS for   
   short) and the top entry was "Disable nouveau for PCI device 10de:1cbb   
   (bsc#1133593)", commit 3261dfb by ptesarik on 10 Mai.   
   So why was this POS level introduced as a security update with no fanfare at   
   all?  My testing of the previous level (4.2.14-lp151-27.3) has been fairly   
   rudimentary but I have not seen any problems so far, my usage being "office"   
   rather than "multimedia"    
   or "games".   
   All indications were that it was not broken until it was fixed - by design.
