For clarification, VMware have not advised me of a private driver release. The claim made in the other thread - the way I read and understood it - is that VMware told a customer that another customer who was experiencing the same issues, resolved that problem by obtaining a driver from NVidia that was never otherwise publicly released.
If that driver exists, I would like to have it.
If anyone at NVIDIA is able to explicitly confirm that it doesn’t exist, that would actually be (somewhat) helpful, too.
I’ve never known us to release a private driver. Our release systems are very formal and QA’ing a bespoke driver isn’t something we’d normally do. I doubt such a thing exists and nobody in the release team knows of one. It’s a bit of difficult thing to make a definitive statement on as it’s a bit like saying "someone at VMware saw a goldern unicorn in the nvidia office"… the people who should have been looped in certainly don’t know…
