Dear God YES! Anything that improves stability of every developer's work-laptop is a huge win.

Any query advices to read about GPU engines in general? "GPU engine" query gives mostly articles about game engines.

Hope this works fine... Every time I use a dual monitor setup in my laptop I must login first in gnome shell, and only then connect the external monitor. Login with the external monitor atached ends in a driver crash and the computer hanged :'(
