3. Ensure that the right libGL.so.1 and libglx.so are in place (for nouveau you need the versions from libgl1-mesa-glx resp. xserver-xorg-core, for nvidia you need NVidia's versions). > Would be even better if this could be handled within the two files themselves. I think this could be handled via parsing /proc/cmdline in an initscript, looking for parameters like "nomodeset" or "nouveau.modeset=0". Those render nouveau useless, so you don't even need to do 1., assuming nouveau is _not_ blacklisted by default. For 2. this is a matter of copying or symlinking the right file, and 3. can be achieved with "update-alternatives --set glx" in wheezy/sid, assuming you have installed the Debian nvidia packages. Still quite some hassle, unfortunately. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
