Well, sadly, the blacklist doesn't say to never load the module at all, even if explicitly requested, just not to automatically load it based on detection of particular PCI IDs. I'm not sure there's any way to say not to load it at all. I still agree with Andreas's conclusion here. I'm just not sure there's any reportable bug here at all. X.org (somewhat rightfully) favors the non-proprietary drivers. I think at the end of the day we're stuck with documenting required manual configuration to use the NVIDIA drivers. > Unfortunately Xorg has no way to easily make it aware of additional > drivers (there was a possibility once to drop a list of pci ids, but > this is no longer enabled in the debian xorg build), so > autoconfiguration does not work and you'll have to create a small > xorg.conf. It would be nice if this were restored, since this is the cleanest way. I wonder if Ubuntu is doing something different there. I see that they have a completely different way of packaging the NVIDIA drivers. (They also seem to include all the variants in a single package.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
