For Linux stuff it's very common to create a new thread on the forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/ I would encourage you to do so and add all details regarding your hardware there. If you then report back the link to the thread, I can add it to this bug metadata. > Also I found an interesting paragraph on the nvidia customer care website: > "However, if you have a notebook computer, you must typically get driver > updates directly from the manufacturer of your notebook.

That would be very unusual, I've not seen such a problem before, but anything can happen with proprietary drivers I suppose. Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
