Hi Thomas,

this caused a black screen for the kernel-rt. For kernel-ARCH everything
kept ok.

Sometimes the proprietary nvidia driver with kernel-rt (even with a
faked licence) didn't/doesn't work for some Linux installs, than I added

$ cat /mnt/maverick/etc/rcS.d/S69switch_xorg.conf
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/rcS.d/Switch_xorg_conf

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
case $(uname -r) in
    *rt*)
        cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        ;;
    *)
	cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        ;;
esac

Regards,

Ralf

;D Yep, as you can see above, I copied the "-" signs from the diff.

That's strange. I re-edited to <3.2.
