Re: configuring proprietary drivers at boot time

[Ronny Standtke <Ronny.Standtke@fhnw.ch>]

Hi Nicola,

what you are looking for is exactly what we achieved for lernstick (see 
http://www.imedias.ch/lernstick/lernstick_en). Our system is Debian-based.

We created custom packages for the proprietary drivers (lernstick-ati-drivers 
and lernstick-nvidia-drivers). They contain all generations of NVIDIA drivers 
and the latest fglrx driver. In addition to that we created a package 
lernstick-initscripts-squeeze that contains a script for GPU detection and 
system setup. The package repository is here:
http://www.imedias.ch/dateien/lernstick/debian6-imedias/

Its good to know that there are other people interested in the same subject. 
Maybe its time to contact the nvidia and fglrx package maintainers. A while 
ago someone told me that because this stuff is live-specific and all about 
non-free nobody would be interested, but maybe that changes now...
