Furthermore, let me clarify the configurations.
I have three configurations:
Config#1) MBR parted - OM LX3 - alpha/beta - - Nvidia 352.30, but is
current broken from updates. X crashed and goes to a tty.
Config#2) UEFI parted - OM LX3 - alpha/beta, test UEFI booting and GPT
parted configuration - Nvidia 361.28, working with problems
Config#3) MBR parted, 2014.2 Production version [the latest I did
yesterday] - Nvidia 352.30 - working
Regards,
Efrem
PS
I am working on Config#1, to get it to work with MCC using the Nvidia
352.30; it once worked, then some updates came in and now it is broken.
