[SOLVED] Conditional xorg.conf, is possible?

kokoko3k · 2014-10-13 12:17:10

I'd like to export an nfs archlinux installation to a couple of machines that boots via PXE.
Those machines have different graphic chips, and one of them needs some tweaks to the xorg.conf (s3) to play well.

What i done was to create and populate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-openchrome.conf with specific device options.
but having specified the driver to use in that file, now the other machines (with a mix of intel, nvidia and radeon) wont start Xorg anymore.

What i am asking is if there is a "legacy" way to perform the task of assigning different xorg.conf configuration depending on the gpu used or if i need to hack my installation to switch xorg.conf at boot time depending on the installed gpu.

Thanks for reading.

No problem - I immediately remembered the same question coming up recently, but even being an active contributor to the thread it took me a little while to track it down. Be sure to see the revisions of the idea throughout that thread as different caveats were worked out.
