I could only verify that the port builds and installs successfully, but I do not
have an nvidia card.
I only know what is in the bug report, so I guess danfe@ could not look at
it yet. I CC him in this mail, maybe he is busy, he lost track of this bug and
this mail could help.
Otherwise, sooner or later, we will declare maintainer timeout and deal with the PR.
Still, if someone with a nvidia card could confirm that the patch works it would
be great.
