The reason there's a problem is that so far nobody knows exactly what's 
causing it.  If you don't know the cause, you can't fix it.  It's nice that 
your nvidia works perfectly now, but I'll point out that we Intel users have 
been laughing for years about how easily our graphics work when nvidia users 
have had to choose between a non-free driver that works and a free driver 
that didn't always.  "nv" always stood for the emotion nvidia users had 
seeing Intel's working, Free, drivers.

Why would you think that this problem would still exist if anybody knew how 
to fix it?
