Hello Norbert, thank you very much for reading my code and your help. You know, sometimes one become routine-blinded (betriebsblind) on its own solutions and code, working on one side of the solution while other parts are in fact a desert or much to complicated. ;-)

Looks good, simple and secure. I will test it, thanks! > How does your setup work when you do ldconfig?

I did not yet have problems with wrong linked libs but after updating one of them ldconfig links to nvidia, yes. But I repeat: never encounterd problems with that (yet) since it links before loading the GDM, GDM loads the libs and ready; no more lookups to the libs during that session. > > How are updates to the xserver-xorg-core and ... handled when running > nvidia/intel at the moment? > That was the reason I made my script to be absolutely sure.
