I have tried hardy heron alpha 4, and applied the latest updates.
The behavior has improved slightly.
Turning the desktop effects on with the sample xorg.conf I gave no
longer brings up the restricted driver manager and enables compiz and
all is well.
Using the restricted driver manager itself still acts the same in that
it will always examine only the first "Device" section and update it if
it doesn't contain "nvidia" as the driver.
Like so:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express
Graphics Controller"
Driver "nvidia" # Should leave this section alone "nvidia" is
configured below
Busid "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6600]"
Driver "nvidia"
Busid "PCI:3:0:0"
Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
This isn't such a big deal since I won't be doing that. The apparent
improvement in enabling the desktop effects is good.
It would be better if the restricted drivers manager was a bit cleverer about
how it updates the xorg.conf though I guess.
