Hi,
would it be possible to include the following patch in
x11-servers/xorg-server? It adds the NVIDIA driver to the built-in X
configuration. It would remove the need to have an xorg.conf on systems
with an NVIDIA GPU which have to use x11/nvidia-driver. I think it's a
source of unnecessary friction that doesn't really need to be there. It
was deceptively simple to add, so I'm sure I'm missing something. ;-)
Thanks,
Tobias
