--- Comment #117 from Martin Flöser <mgraess...@kde.org> ---
Maintainer speaking:

We will not add any workarounds! This has various reasons:

* We lack developers with the expertise to understand the problem
* We lack developers with NVIDIA cards
* The last patch we did for NVIDIA specific issue caused severe issues which
required an emergency release
* We have no chance to properly understand what's going on due to NVIDIA driver
being proprietary
* If the NVIDIA driver as thee only driver needs such workarounds, NVIDIA
should fix their drivers or contribute patches

Last but not least: X11 is going to be feature frozen after 5.12. We are almost
in feature freeze for 5.12 and given that we now have the Christmas break it's
unlikely that any feature for NVIDIA is going to land before. I don't see where
the devs should come from.

As NVIDIA does not support Wayland the feature freeze for X11 means that we
won't add any changes specific for NVIDIA any more.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience that creates for you. If you have any
complaints about it, please take it to NVIDIA to fix their driver or release it
as open source or to do anything which would allow us to not have to workaround
things.
