beschreibt das nicht so trivial:
Update your configuration
The Debian way. This method avoids many common configuration errors, because
you don't write an XF86Config-4 file yourself. Instead you answer a series of
questions about your mouse, keyboard, and video hardware, and then the
configuration script writes an XF86Config-4 file for you.
Save yourself some possible grief later, by backing up your current
XF86Config-4:
cp -p /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.bak
Tell Debian that XF86Config-4 has never been edited:
md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >| /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
If you don't perform this step, and you have ever edited XF86Config-4, then
dpkg-reconfigure will lead you through its whole questionnaire below, and
then silently fail to write a new XF86Config-4. This is Debian bug #223929.
Run
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
and answer all of the questions.
When asked to choose an X server driver, choose "nvidia". An open-source
alternative is the "nv" driver, which has 2D but no 3D capabilities.
When asked to select X server modules, deselect (uncheck) GLCore and dri, and
select (check) glx.
When you're done, ls -l /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to be sure your new
XF86Config-4 file has been written.
Die manuelle Methode scheint also auf den ersten Blick einfacher zu sein.
Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
In the "Module" section, be sure that you have a line
Load "glx"
and remove or comment out (prepend with a #) any lines that refer to
the "dri" or "GLCore" modules.
In the "Device" section for your video card, be sure you have a line
Driver "nvidia"
Welche Nachteile hat die manuelle Mehtode und soll ich nun bei _mir_ beide
Konfigurationen, also xorg.conf und XF86Config-4 anpassen um bei einer
eventuellen automatischen Migration zu XFree bei einer Installation
vorbereitet zu sein? Ich habe das zwar noch nie erlebt, umgekehrt (zu xorg)
aber schon.
