I've seen many older "issue" statements re: non-supported NVIDIA = graphics systyems. For instance, on my Dell Precision 5820 Workstation, Ubuntu 16.04 = interfered with window manager logins so that it would always rest = mid-logion and come back to the same login input box. Unfortunately, there is not an immediate "resolved" status nearby those = issue postings. So, did it also occur in some ways w/r/t FreeBSD? Who knows what the independent-contracting CIA and computer-invasive = NVIDIA are really up to.: "NVIDIA, the microprocessor manufacturer that powers much of the = world=92s gaming and cloud needs, will also join hands in this unlikely = partnership between a retail giant, a government funded tech firm and = the CIA.

Is its "issue list" resolved (or better-hidden, like Microsoft's = backdoor spyware) for newer platforms? I suspect that not supporting drivers for older systems is a bit like = [cr]Apple killing off the X in MacOSX, along with all non-proprietary = security tools like Doorstop X Suite. "That would be telling." [The = Prisoner]=20 This getting "fixed" oddly seems like "fixing a dog does to the dog... = more like forcing manufactured issues resolution "code" closer to where = OS security lives? I'm not "paranoid... just experienced. thanks, frank
