Package: live-config
Version: 3.0.21
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Neither the nvidia nor the fglrx proprietary drivers work on machines
that have multiple display controllers. The attached patch solves this
by selecting xorg autodetection in this case. This patch is based on the
patch in the previously submitted bug report to reconfigure the X server
on every boot.
The patch contains some code reorganisation to avoid nesting the if
statements even more. Also it's much easier to catch the different cases
that require xorg driver autodetection with a subroutine.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Use xorg driver for multiple display controllers
Using anything other than native xorg drivers has (so far) failed on
all systems with multiple display controllers. Use xorg autodetection in
this case instead of prorietary drivers.
This also moves the X11 driver detection into a subfunction to avoid yet
another giant if block.
