My point was nvidia probably cannot diagnose and fix problems outside their proprietary code completely without any external help, nor can outside expertise directly come to bear on problems inside their proprietary code. If a fix to the kernel is involved, non-nvidia people will doubtless be involved. BTW, the citation is not mine, you missed one level of attribution in your editing. Perhaps you also were having a long night (but mine's LONGER! ;-) ). :-) -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
