I tested the FAQ advice about grml-x and nvidia. The simple command was
grml-x -nostart -module nvidia gdm
If I run as root, I get a strong warning message that grml-x does not support root. (P.S. Why not?)
Running X as user root is nothing you should use. Therefore the warning message and the advice to use the '-nostart' option if you want to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
To avoid confusion as far as possible, grml2hd even checks for existence of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and creates one on request (default == yes).
If I run as a non-root user, I get error messages about the user lacking privileges to run certain binaries.
Sure, as you have to write files you are not allowed to modify without root-permissions. On live-cd that's not a problem at all, but on hd-install it's deactivated for security reasons.
