- Arkanosis 5y agoI assume GP was thinking of Nvidia having started to work on the GBM API, available starting with nvidia 495.44: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/181274/en-us https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/181274/en...
- smoldesu 5y agoI think there's a little irony there, considering that the same update that introduced GBM also created a pretty terrible issue where Nvidia would flood your DBUS channels with garbage until you system runs out of memory and crashes. In other words, "fix" is a relative term.
