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.

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