--- Comment #1 from david.kremer...@gmail.com ---
I must add that the symptom as well as the concerned hardware starts to be
pretty well documented.

The problem arises with 

- recent nvidia mobile cards
- optimus technology built in
- intel integrated GPU (what else) ?

You can arrive to the same result using the `bbswitch` module or the
`acpi_call` module, trying to switch off the graphic card, *BUT*, since it's
really the `nouveau` driver job to do the work, and since it is already trying
to do it, I see no point in reporting bug for those modules.

for consistent ways of reproducing the undesired behaviour.

The cheap hack to provide specific options for the `acpi_osi` driver should be
discouraged as it is not consistent across GPU models and Laptop models.
