Comment 4 for bug 1081384

Really Ubuntu needs to ship the nvidia driver as a roling release.

Ubuntu devs cannot fix the driver (being closed source..) and keeping an older version with known bugs in is insane.

i.e in the name of 'stability' Ubuntu ships a nvidia driver with known bugs in that are fixed in later releases - that doesn;t make any sense.

As well as shipping a driver with known bugs (how on earth is that good for LTS versions?) it lacks support of later cards.

i.e at work a person who has never used Linux on the desktop before (normally a Mac user) came across the bug where a 2nd monitor will never wake up . You have to reboot to fix it - this was fixed in a later version but Ubuntu keeps the version with the bugs.....
