To fix this, either disable suspend or tell the NVIDIA driver to preserve video memory on suspend/hibernate by using the `NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1` option. You can run `sudo extra/install_preserve_video_memory.sh` to automatically add that option to your system. # Reporting bugs/contributing patches @@ -147,6 +147,8 @@ edit the video with a video editor.
