They should attempt the load and fail when no hardware was found. The onboard graphics should still be found an initialized....
They should, but it's my understanding that NVidia's proprietary drivers may include a replacement for at least one system lib (evil "muck with") that is not compatible with drivers for other GPUs, meaning X may fail to run even trying to use the crude, fallback vesa and/or fbdev drivers. In such a case Xorg.0.log may not report what's needed to know, just an inexplicable segfault. Since I never install proprietary drivers on any PC I own, I've had no incentive to test whether my understanding has any basis in fact.
years in past i have had exact this situation removing nvidia prop drivers and put a amd gpu in, it will not work, do not ask me where the problem was, but nvidia has blocked something to fallback to an standart driver. i only remember i have searched long to find what it was..... :-(( (i for sure would find it this days faster :-)) never used any nvidia again, even if they build nice hardware. -- www.becherer.de ----------------------------------------------- - Das ist die vorlaeufig endgueltige Version! - Herbert C.
