[ATrpms-devel] nvidia specfile improvements (was: CGAL FC6)

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

Hi Axel,

nvidia binary (nvidia-xconfig) also segfaults without the Section "Module".

The problem with the nvidia-config-x.py python script is that
it does not read xorg.conf without a Section "Module".
It returns an object (xconfig.files) of type None.
Worse, ixf86config.readConfigFile, which actually reads xorg.conf, is a C
program.

Therefore the only simple fix without patching those guys is the one
I told you before. The bash script can be called into the python script if
you want.
It works just fine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Read config file
os.system('nvidia-graphics-append /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf')
(xconfig, xconfigpath) = xf86config.readConfigFile()

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changing the subject again, what is your opinion about dkms approach.
I read in the Freshrpms list that Mathias and Dag seems to approve it.

Despite the fact I do not like anything from Dell, it seems to me that
forcing to have a compiler in the computer is not the best solution.

/Paulo Roma.
