The xorg/mesa team has to play with us then. I also don't think, that
using the alternative system is the right way, because:
1) building against the fglrx libgl implementation is a bad idea
2) users may get strange problems/crashes, if they install different
drivers (fglrx+free-drivers / nvidia+fglrx / nvidia+free drivers etc).
3) It is no alternative, it is a diversion, because it is needed!
4) for fglrx it would just be a little step for live booting, fglrx
still needs a xorg.conf with some options (like defaultdepth)
I understand your position and it is a good idea to add fglrx to live
cds, but I don't see any good solution (without ugly workarounds) to
implement it, yet.
Maybe it would be better to install the {fglrx,nvidia}-glx package on
probing?
I am CCing the xstrike force, maybe they have got some 50 cent to this
topic :)
