If you are on Skype contact me via separate email and we can
test this out and have clarify the issue. I am about 96% sure that
I tested this with the non-proprietary nvidia driver with a friend and
we still had the problem. If that is the case I am not happy about
the bug being closed.

Bryce,
If you are on Skype contact me via separate email and we can
test this out and have clarify the issue. I am about 96% sure that
I tested this with the non-proprietary nvidia driver with a friend and
we still had the problem. If that is the case I am not happy about
the bug being closed.
