Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.7 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
When installing proprietary nvidia drivers, I noticed that the free nouveau driver was better at linux virtual console than the nvidia drivers. I know that the nvidia driver blacklists the free nouveau driver to work, so it must still be on the system. It seems that having update-alternatives symlinking system be able to just point to the driver would be highly convenient for users. I attempted to pass every conceivable linux kernal parameter for video to the kernel via grub, but it looks like nvidia simply doesn't pay attention to these. I considered making a dual-boot system, one without the nvidia drivers, but deemed such an attempt as too complicated for the function I wanted. I also thought I should mention that attempting to remove the nvidia proprietary driver caused me to fear unstability, but I don't know if this fear was rational or not. I do want the features of both drivers though.
