[resending to debian-x@ instead of just kibi@] Dear X Team,
since the proprietary nvidia driver does not work with Xorg autoconfiguration, an xorg.conf is needed to enable it. I'm planning to use debconf for creating a xorg.conf.d snippet on the first installation of xserver-xorg-video-nvidia* (recently split from nvidia-glx*), unless something is already configured manually. I would place this file as /etc/X11/nvidia.conf and use the glx alternatives system to install a slave alternative /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf pointing to this file. That way switching to/from nvidia's libGL.so.* and libglx.so would also enable/disable the config file. If this approach works out well for nvidia, I'll propose fglrx to do the same. Do you have any objections regarding this approach? Should I use some ordering prefix for the link installed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, e.g. 42_nvidia.conf or z42_nvidia.conf? Should I use a different filename? Why is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ not shipped by e.g. x11-common? Thanks.
