Hi,

I am trying to understand the difference between the following two methods

*First method *
this taken from irc dpkg bot
"aptitude -r install linux-headers-2.6-`uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,'`
nvidia-kernel-dkms && mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ; echo -e 'Section
"Device"\n\tIdentifier "My GPU"\n\tDriver "nvidia"\nEndSection' >
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf"

this uses the xord.conf.d directory but it also has /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file. What happens in this case?

*second method* taken form
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Installation-1

first two steps are same as above:

- install linux-headers
- then nvidia-kernel-dkms

the third and forth step differ:

3rd step:  Install the NVIDIA X driver and user-space libraries

how come this is missing in the first option?


4th step: Configure X to use the nvidia
driver<http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Configure_X_to_use_the_nvidia_driver>

Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Which method should I use?
