Ubuntu 12.04 - [drm] nouveau unknown i2c port, i can not use the PCI express card with VGA and HDMI output

Question

I have this brand new PCI-Express cards (bought 10 of them geforce-gt-620).

where i am using 12.04 64-bit, and trying to use VGA + Hdmi outputs from that card. But Ubuntu is throwing this nonstop.

[32323233] [drm] nouveau [0000:01:00.0]: unknown i2c port 48
[32323233] [drm] nouveau [0000:01:00.0]: unknown i2c port 57
[32323233] [drm] nouveau [0000:01:00.0]: unknown i2c port 48
[32323233] [drm] nouveau [0000:01:00.0]: unknown i2c port 57

But i tried 12.10 same card seems to work there. How can i make the same card work under 12.04? (because on 12.10 i have some serious dependencies problem, can not use 12.10 as of this moment for those cards)

I have tried:

Answer 1

Step 1:

installed Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit

Step 2:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current # just remove it do not install anything

Step 3:

update the kernel

$ download http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/
$ wget http://91.189.94.216/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/linux-image-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_amd64.deb
$ wget http://91.189.94.216/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/linux-image-extra-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_amd64.deb
$ wget http://91.189.94.216/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/linux-headers-3.5.1-030501-generic_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_amd64.deb
$ wget http://91.189.94.216/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.1-quantal/linux-headers-3.5.1-030501_3.5.1-030501.201208091310_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
$ init 6

It works now!
