The /etc/X11/nvidia.conf would be created only if there was no xorg.conf previously (and no xorg.conf.d/*.conf with a 'Driver ".*"' line) and the slave link will be created only if nvidia.conf exists. So this should not interfere with systems where an xorg.conf already exists. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
