nvidia && radeon hardware acceleration on X

[mstamat]

Hi,
My gentoo linux runs from a disk that sits on a removable frame, so that I can carry my whole desktop from home to work and back. At work I use a Geforce2MX card, and have set-up hardware acceleration for X for this card. At home I have a radeon 7500 card, and want to have hardware acceleration for this card too. Is it possible to have support for both these cards in a single gentoo installation?

If not, is there a way to control when the glx X module will be loaded? It looks like XFree86Config can have only one Modules section, so the only way to control the modules to be loaded, is to edit XFree86Config every time I move the disk.

TIA!

you could alias startx for each config, like in your bashrc put:

alias startn=startx -- -xf86config /etc/XF86Config-nvidia
alias starta=startx -- -xf86config /etc/XF86Config-ati

not sure if this will help if you autostarting X..

cya,

oh ya i forgot about opengl-update... mabey you could write a script like:

!/bin/sh
sudo opengl-update nvidia
startx -- -xf86config /etc/XF86Config-nvidia

but I guess this isnt so great...

anyone else have a suggestion?
