[SOLVED] NVIDIA question

In rc.local, my code to config the video driver at launch of the LIVE CD is:

Xorg -configure && cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Let's say I included NVIDIA proprietary driver, my question is what code would I have to put to recognize if there is a nvidia card installed in the computer.

So if there's an NVIDIA card, it would do
nvidia-xconfig

and if not, it would do
Xorg -configure && cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Thanks in advance for helping
