So something tries to load the first fitting driver for some piece of hardware discovered. Duplicating the aliases that are already built into the module (well both modules in your test case) gives them a higher precendence. If you drop the aliases again and instead create /etc/modules-load.d/nvidia.conf with the content "nvidia" to have to module autoloaded on boot - does this work? Have you tried to use the driver without manual Xorg configuration? I.e. tested that starting X with nvidia driver automatically works with glx-alternative-nvidia 0.5.90. (Requires the nvidia kernel module to be loaded before X is started) Andreas
