The xorg.conf file generated by Xorg (snv_99) has some important
differences from the one generated by nvidia-settings.
<xorg>
Section "Module"
Load "record"
Load "glx"
Load "xtsol"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "IA"
Load "GLcore"
Load "xtrap"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
EndSection
</xorg>
<nvidia>
# nvidia-settings:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "IA"
Load "bitstream"
Load "xtsol"
Load "glx"
EndSection
</nvidia>
Why are those modules so different? And who is correct?
Some other differences that strike me are:
<xorg>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "G70 [GeForce 7300 GT]"
BusID "PCI:6:0:0"
EndSection
</xorg>
<nvidia>
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "Device"
BoardName "GeForce 7300 GT"
EndSection
</nvidia>
Nvidia has serverflags (Xinerama); changes the ZAxisMapping and has
another BoardName -without- the PCI setting.
I welcome some more information on these settings and some advice on
what to follow (or not).
