Ubuntu and ASUS G750JM, GTX860M / Nvidia problems

This is my second thread, the other is on another website but that one is going no where and I don't think it gets enough attention so I'm posting here.

Has anyone gotten drivers to work the GTX860M in Ubuntu 14.04? If so, how did you go about the task?

I'm running out of options, here's what I've tried: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/771674/linux/ubuntu-freezes-at-login-with-the-gtx860ms-official-drivers-installed-/

This answer works but it causes my trackpad to lock up the computer every once in a while. It's a bug I believe ubuntu is working on.

From the terminal run to install the driver:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 nvidia-settings

Then create a new configuration file by running (a new configuration file before reboot is CRUCIAL (you may get a warning but as long as a new configuration file is created you are okay to proceed to step 5):
```
sudo nvidia-xconfig
```

Reboot

Download Bumblebee by running:

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generic

Reboot

I suggest removing the ppa by typing (this is optional):
```
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
```
