Thanks for info.  We can look to NVidia for lack lustre open
source/community support.

A bit of sad state of affairs.

I will need to get an AMD graphics card to add to my testing mix as
things have come a long way since I last worked with AMD cards.

I'll be working on Vulkan RTX support this year so need the 2060 for
this, so will stick with what I have for now.

Cheers,
Robert.
