Hi Jeremy

Well, I guess the 3.2 RT will work here as well, just kernels > 3.4  
started to behave bad.

The main reason I would use later kernels, special >3.18 is, that they 
have a big improvement in the nouveau driver. Lately the 3.19.0-rc5 
detect my card correct and handle the GPU mem correct.
