Hello, 

after installing nixos-graphical-0.1pre28113-x86_64-linux.iso on fujitui 
lifebook 
i was not able to use kde4 desktopManager and could not build gnome environment.
xterm (default), and xfce desktopManager did worked OK.

for kde4 i got the screen with the harddisk and then the scren went blank and 
stayed that way.

output fom lspcigrep VGA
0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)


 services.xserver = {
 videoDriver = "intel";
 exportConfiguration = true;
 enable = true;
 defaultDepth = 24;
 desktopManager.kde4.enable = true;
 layout = "de";
 xkbOptions = "eurosign:e";
 };

for gnome nixos-rebuild boot terminated with an error

One other problem i had during the installation was an inability to install 
grub in the partion, 

i hacked switch-to-configuration inserting --force flag for grub-install so 
that it finaly did install itself on a partion.
I could helpful if there were an option for the configuration to pass this flag 
properly.


Finaly to get productive quickly, could someone send me a configuration file 
which achies the following:

most products are defined for all users and automaticaly updated (i.e as system 
packages ? )

I coulld defined profiles with different versions of say haskell, java, ruby 
etc for different users 
so that if i want to work with certain versions of the products i logged as 
user-version-this-and-that 
or is a better way to do it

Thank very much

Jerzy
