Thanks for bringing the issue to our attention here.

As this looks like an upstream issue, I'll leave this bug open to track progress upstream.

will you be pulling it? that's the main thing i think should be done so systems don't update to a known bad version.

I don't see any reason to at present.

I tested this release initially and didn't have an issue, so works for me. We made this release nearly a month ago, initially to our testing repository and no issues have been reported. The package was subsequently promoted to the main repository, and again no issues have been reported.

Are you affected by this issue or are you just reporting the upstream bug? If you are affected then you can 'yum downgrade' to the previous release until NVIDIA are able to fix any issues upstream.

Given we have 200,000 users per month using elrepo, and the nvidia package is our most popular package, I would have expected to have received numerous bug reports by now if the issue were widespread.

i have already done a downgrade. sounds like it only affects certain chipsets or x11 libraries, or something.

i guess that at least having this issue here will let other people find it if they run into the same problem.
