Package: nvidia-settings Version: 180.22-1 Severity: wishlist
The man page explains how to use .xinitrc to automatically run nvidia-settings --load-config-only when X starts. AFAIK gdm etc don't use .xinitrc for a standard "GNOME Session", "KDE Session" etc so that advice won't work for many people. Besides improving the documentation I think it would be a good idea to add an XDG autostart entry for nvidia-settings so inexperienced users don't have the bother of editing scripts or using the likes of gnome-session-manager. AFAICT running nvidia-settings --load-config-only in the absence of a .nvidia-settings-rc or even the NVidia driver merely fails silently, so I don't think this idea poses a danger for non-NVidia users. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nvidia-settings depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar Versions of packages nvidia-settings recommends: pn nvidia-glx <none> (no description available) nvidia-settings suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
