Hey there dear developers. I’m facing a problem around X with nvidia drivers loaded. 3600s after starting the X server some nvidia component is spamming the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file with a huge amount of similar messages at a high rate. This leads to sometimes 7GB sized Xorg.0.log files and fills the file system.
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
