What did you have to do to get it to work with the nvidia driver?


Apparently -- I don't buy closed hardware -- udev is not able to create
the device nodes needed by X quickly enough to satisfy the NVidia server.
So, as others have pointed out, it should be loaded through /etc/modules,
and the race condition is avoided.



That does not seem to be quite the same.
I use Multi-Seat Ruby for multiple displays/keyboards/mice on 1 PC and I ran into udev installing gnome-volume-manager, which uses hal, which wants udev.

I put nvidia in /etc/modules and only one server started instead of the  2.

I started reading the manpage for udev, I must say, it is hard going on an empty stomach.
