MacBookPro 6,2 with 330M kernel crash with 340 NVidia driver

On a MacBookPro 6,2 with a NVida 330m the nvidia drivers 340 and the one before that give a kernel crash. It doesnt matter if I install through mint package manager or through the nvidia installer.

I guess this is a known problem, as I suspect more people have run into it (from my various googling around to find a solution).

I havent tried other kernels than Linux 3.13.0-37-generic (x86_64) which came with linux mint 17 install.

Would be great if this can be solved… perhaps in update legacy release?!
For now sticking with the nouveau drivers and without opencl / proper hw acc. : (

My problem looks similar to this, but its not:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189084
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/784322/linux/nvidia-340xx-causes-flickering-desktop-no-dual-monitor-possible-no-hd-videos-on-archlinux-x-ubunt/2/
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/797100/linux/black-screen-with-all-340-xx-drivers-newer-than-340-46/

For me its not the drm kernel problem introduced at 3.18.
And its not only the 340.76 version, with the 337.25 NVidia drivers I have the same issue - nothing works.

I don’t see anything I can try to make it work, any help tip to make it work appreciated. Im looking to make the opencl of the gpu to work (thats not available in nouveau).
