Its the 1% where a manual set up will be required. I was wondering how you change which driver the graphics card uses - e.g.. if i wanted to change from the proprietary Nvidia (or ATI) driver to the open source ones - how do i do it?
You just need the part of the configuration file with the change, leave the rest on automatic. I have a "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv" file which I copy to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" or delete if I want the nv driver or the default, nvidia driver. No need to remove drivers.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv:
Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "nv" EndSection
thats all it has. Simple :-) Thanks. but it would be easier/more obvious if it was an option in the "Display" option.
