Black screen and strange error on GeForce GT 730M / Thinkpad T440p

Mon Jan 27 00:03:59 UTC 2014

I have got a new Thinkpad T440p with dual Intel / Nvidia graphics. As
Intel Haswell is of now unspupported I had high hopes for the nvidia
GPU. However, with x11/nvidia-driver I get a black screen and
following error message on dmesg:

nvidia0: <GeForce GT 730M> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io

I updated BIOS with
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS037576 to
have the newsest version.

I have seen such an error message reported to the letter in Sep '13 by
Hiren. Can anybody help me understand what's happening here, I have
absolutely no idea what that should mean.

Thanks and cheers,

Punctuation matters:

"A panda eats shoots and leaves." or "A panda eats, shoots, and

"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead." (RFC 1925)
