Comment 67 for bug 982710

Alberto, thanks for the suggestion, but I've seen that suggested on forums
for months, for several driver versions, and people have reported that
persistent mode makes no difference. It also doesn't make sense that it
should help, given what it says on the man page. And I've used this laptop
for years and had no need for persistent mode. Right now I don't want to
go back to the super-crashy driver to test a setting that probably won't
fix it. There is clearly a bug introduced by NVIDIA that they need to fix.

Are you suggesting that I try that because of something you read on a
forum, or did someone from NVIDIA indicate it might work around the crash,
or...?
