Hi there If anyone wants to work around this while waiting on the fix, as I needed to do, this is how I did it. What you would do is download the attached patches file to a folder that you create and run the set of commands below. Run the commands one by one in case something doesn't work.
Note the patches are not complete; they are only for a very specific proble - you need to edit them if e.g. you are using nvidia-experimental-304. Also, take care. If things are different on your system it may not work.
