Just installed the proprietary nvidia driver on Wheezy 64-bit using the dkms method as outlined in the Nvidia Debian wiki.  No problems, except I haven't got it working yet.  But was wondering:  Is it possible for the nvidia driver to work without using an xorg.conf?  Nouveau does.

FYI:  I'm not running a gui environment, just a window manager--Openbox.  System first boots to a terminal, login, startx.  Very minimal.


AFAIK if you want nvidia you have to:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "nvidia0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
EndSection
