Ah right, the legacy drivers are only needed on GeForce 5xxx. > What I would really like to do is choose the nvidia or nouveau at boot time. > Would involve copying xorg.conf versions, a modprob.d blacklist, and setting > alternatives for glx and libGL. I would not use modprobe blacklists, but rather boot with "nomodeset" if you want to use the blob. Then you can write your own init script that greps for nomodeset in /proc/cmdline and sets up the alternatives and xorg.conf accordingly. Unfortunately, update-grub does not make it easy to specify alternative boot options¹. :-( Cheers, Sven ¹ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=470398 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
