In my Karmic still an xorg.conf exists, specially because of the uxa
acceleration:
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
Or do you know an other way without xorg.conf to use that acceleration?

No, that is not forgotten, that is done extra! It does a readlink loop
until the last and real linktarget is found:
while readlink $libgl; do
libgl=/usr/lib/$(basename `readlink $libgl`);
done
after that loop, the variable "$libgl" bears the last and definitive
target, even if that is not libGL.so.1 but (like in my case)
libGL.so.1.2 (or maybe in future: libGL.so.2.xy)
The system itself looks on LibGL.so (and reads the link), if that one
day gets a libGL.so.2 as target, my Script still works correct.
The same with the nvidia lib-version. You can update your nvidia driver,
my scripts will use allways the highest installed version it can find.

Thank you for that Information, My Machine does still use grub(1) for
compatibility reasons but I will provide your Information on the linked
website. Thanks.
