[om-qa] XORG Nvidia 352.30

Hi Ben.

Yes, for Config#1, #2, and #3.  On Config#2, I then updated the driver
using the 'nvidia-installer --update', it downloads and installs the latest
driver.

I have three configurations:
1) MBR parted - OM LX3 - alpha/beta
2) UEFI parted - OM LX3 - alpha/beta, test UEFI booting and GPT parted
configuration
3) MBR parted, 2014.2 Production version [the latest I did yesterday]

The Nvidia 361.28 was done manually as Cooker/OM Lx3 has the 352.30
driver.  I have on Config#2
The Nvidia 352.30 is on Config #1 using XFDrake and nvidia-xconfig.  I also
configured in MCC does a little more. XFDrake has a problem running in text
mode, I am not sure what mode I am using because it errors out at the end
because it want to do a X res test.  It reports an error about the
resolution is not supported, Press Ctrl-C to Cancel.

On Config#3, I used MCC, and it installed correctly with a few adjustments
the Nvidia 352.30 driver.  This is what I sent to Colin and the QA Team.

There is a problem with the ABI driver 20.0, so either have to use a lower
driver level for all video (that is ABI < 20.0) or a new Nvidia driver such
as 352.79 from Nvidia.

Regards,

Efrem

PS
I switched my video cards around for Config#3 for what monitors are
attached.
