Hello Alex,

Yes I've noticed yesterday, thanks for pushing for a fix upstream.

I've done a similar implementation in our 384 branch:

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-nvidia?view=revision&revision=7316

It seems to work fine on DOTA2 with the Vulkan renderer with both configurations.

If they backport the upstream fix to the 375 series I'll backport our side as well.
