I have looked at the changes I did to make 8174/8178 to work and boiled it down to this - the only thing that really mattered was to change the modprobe.conf from:

Code:

alias char-major-195* nvidia

to

Code:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=1

Also, it appears that one or both of the following two lines in xorg.conf are needed:

Code:

Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Option "IgnoreEdidFreqs" "true"
