[Grml] Re: nVidia video hardware autodetection bug

You won't get hardware autodetection for closed source nvidia drivers.

Thanks for confirming the diagnosis. I wish they were open source too.

Closed source does not technically prevent autodetection. In fact since grml-x already accepts nvidia switches, it should be trivial to invoke them automatically on PCs with nvidia cards. I may just mod grml-x myself for my users.

You don't have to reboot if you modify xorg.conf, just restart X.

Well, a reboot should also have worked. The problem is that I used nvidia's x setup tool instead of grml-x, probably.

Thanks. Mark
