> Yes, 331 will be replaced by 340 through a system update.

Nice, but is it possible that it not only replaces 331 by 340 but ALSO
ENABLES THEM?

Because I'm under the impression that that just happened to me, and
that's a bug.

Ages ago, when I first enabled NVidia drivers, I had this problem that
every time I would connect and disconnect an external screen, the
computer would start to randomly freeze at any moment. It turned out it
was because the lack of support of NVidia drivers for Optimus technology
on Linux. So I SWITCHED TO NOUVEAU, and had never been using NVidia
drivers ever since, which was/is the only option for those like me who
have an Optimus device. And that issue disappeared (though the NVidia
drivers were still installed and gave me the compile error at every
kernel upgrade).

Now, THE FREEZING ISSUE HAS REAPPEARED.
I suspect the update not only replaced 331 with 340 drivers, but also enabled 
them while I had explicitly disabled them in favour of Nouveau.

Please how do I disable them again?
And please change back the status of this bug until this part is fixed too.
