report upstream to nvidia

remove your config in ~/ and try launching nvidia-settings again, also we can't fix this bug since it's upstream.

Nvidia has stated this is fixed in the latest beta. I can verify that is in fact fixed as well. I've switched to the beta driver available in the aur until nvidia releases a final and we get it in our repos.
