Bug Description

Mint 17.2 amd64

Install and run supertuxkart, Game pauses randomly and on console I get loads of NOUVEAU errors about "illegal MTHD":

"nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x000fb45000 Xorg[1258]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0220 data 0x00000040"

Exiting game, other created windows are garbled and reboot is needed to get usable system.

Other bug (?): Recommended Nvidia proprietary driver (331) installs but after reboot quickly freezes system with garbled screen/lines.

This behaviour was also present in Mint 17.1.
