That is exactly what Xorg does - it tries different drivers in (built-in) order of preference and uses the first one that works.
Thanks, will test it out for next time.
When NVidia's proprietary driver is installed, an environment is created such that either: 1-no FOSS driver will load, resulting in no running Xorg (most likely); or 2-a crude, low priority driver will load, usually resulting in no better than 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
