Hi Bryce, Sorry for the delay from my side. It is a busy week... I have one little update for you though: According to NVIDIA the issue I've mentioned should be fixed in 304.60 which will be released this Friday. Best, Michael Sent from phone... Please excuse typos. <div class="gmail_quote">On Oct 12, 2012 6:46 PM, "Bryce Harrington" <<a href="mailto:bryce@canonical.com">bryce@canonical.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 05:18:33PM +0200, Michael Wisheu wrote: > Hi Bryce, > > Unfortunately 1060346 is an internal bug tracking ID of NVIDIA and I also > have no access to their bug tracker. > In addition to that I can't use easily 'ubuntu-bug xorg' as apport is > disabled on our company computers. > I also don't know if it would be so helpful if I would submit that report > as we build our own NVIDIA packages (based on X updates packages). This is good info, can you paste it into a bug report? If you can't use ubuntu-bug, you can file it manually at <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+filebug" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+filebug</a> It's helpful if you can file the bug report, because then we can contact you for information or to let you know when it's fixed.
