[SOLVED] Nvidia device setting in the new Xorg (w/ hotplug enabled)

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "nVidia Corporation"
    BoardName      "G70 [GeForce Go 7800 GTX]"
    Option       "NoLogo"
    Option       "DPMS" "True"
    Option       "RenderAccel" "True"    
    Option       "DPI" "96x96"
    Option       "TripleBuffer" "True"
    Option       "BackingStore" "True"
    Option       "DamageEvents" "True"
    Option       "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "True"
EndSection

How/where do I set these when using the new xorg server with hotplug support?

Uh, you don't mess with it. At all.

Just leave the xorg.conf as is, and make sure that your Rgbpath is commented out.

Stop looking at my signature. It betrays your nature.

Yeah, just leave it as-is. The hotplug support mostly deals with peripherals such as mice or keyboards afaik. Cheers.

Nope. The nvidia module doesn't actually work. See the announcement on www.archlinux.org

People should really subscribe to the RSS feed.

Before you start flaming you should actually read the post.

[GeForce Go 7800 GTX]

But as above, the hotplug stuff should only affect evdev stuff.

People need to stop saying the nvidia module doesn't work.  It's the version supporting older cards that doesn't.  (nvidia-71xx is no longer supported)

True. Sorry, keerthi. I obviously misread the post. There were too many poster today who did not read the announcement... I got carried away.
