Wow!

I was in search of this driver months ago with no luck.

Long story short: after much searching, I found a page where someone with the same problem was able to patch the source code of this nvidia version. It was intended for Bionic but luckily, it worked in DPupBuster.

In my case, there are some minor glitches, like apps closing unexpectedly or being "abandoned" by the cpu (yes, that weird) but that is just occasionally and not repetitively (thank goodness).

Thank you so much!
