Hi, would it be possible to include the following patch in x11-servers/xorg-server? It adds the NVIDIA driver to the built-in X configuration. It would remove the need to have an xorg.conf on systems with an NVIDIA GPU which have to use x11/nvidia-driver. I think it's a source of unnecessary friction that doesn't really need to be there. It was deceptively simple to add, so I'm sure I'm missing something. ;-) Thanks, Tobias https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/common/xf86pciBus.c?id=xorg-server-1.17.4#n1187 =================================================================== --- files/patch-hw_xfree86_common_xf86pciBus.c (nonexistent) +++ files/patch-hw_xfree86_common_xf86pciBus.c (working copy) @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +--- hw/xfree86/common/xf86pciBus.c.orig 2016-07-19 15:37:53.698794484 +0200 ++++ hw/xfree86/common/xf86pciBus.c 2016-07-19 15:37:26.000000000 +0200 +@@ -1192,6 +1192,7 @@ + #ifdef __linux__ + driverList[idx++] = "nouveau"; + #endif ++ driverList[idx++] = "nvidia"; + driverList[idx++] = "nv"; + break; + }
