Comment 24 for bug 251107

just to be clear, several people here said just be patient and wait, it will be fixed and old drivers updated by Nvidia....my point was that several distros have been waiting already for months for this bug fix for the old drivers and they are still waiting. Telling people to be patient implies that a release fix is impending from Nvidia. People are reporting this bug because they want to use the Nvidia drivers, NOT the nv open source drivers.

we need something more definitive than just be patient, nv drivers prevent me from using googleearth, nv drivers are too slow or don't work at all with VM's. so open source video drivers are not a solution for me, and I would guess not for the other people who are reporting the bug.

Silently migrating to nv drivers is NOT the solution if you do not tell the end user that they have no other choice until Nvidia comes thru. Like I said above, other distros have been waiting for Nvidia to come thru for months now.
