Greetings.
Which file is Hipster using to define the video driver to use? X is trying to
use the NVidia driver, which fails. Under FreeBSD, the Intel driver worked, so
I'm hoping it will here as well. But none of the files I've found that mention
the NVidia driver seem to actually be an Xorg config file.
Like Xorg on all other platforms, it will use /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists,
or config snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but the default configuration
doesn't use a config file, but lets Xorg check for available video devices
and uses its internal mapping of PCI vendor ids to drivers to decide which
drivers to use for those.

Hi.
That make sense, thanks. It also explains why I can't find a config file
to edit.
So, is there an "official" way to override the driver X is using? Do I
need to hack together a config file to do this?
Thanks again,
Rainer
