Hi guys especially those with nvidia hardware.

I've prepared a build with nvidia acceleration via their "unified"
295.40 driver:
http://build.webconverger.org/webc-0d80e4c.iso
The "unified" 295.40 driver unfortunately doesn't have support for
"legacy" nvidia hardware. In this case, with some luck, Xorg will
default to the nouveau driver. I would be ideal if someone could
confirm their old legacy nvidia hardware does indeed correctly fall
back to the nouveau driver, because I can't test this.
It's not reasonable for me to support proprietary acceleration on
"legacy" nvidia cards since:
A) I don't have any such hardware to develop with
B) New Xorg 1.12 have a new API I've been told, which the legacy
drivers will not be ported to
You can tell if your nvidia is considered a legacy device by looking
up the ids on:
https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/tree/master/usr/share/nvidia
The magic detection stuff happens in
https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/blob/master/etc/webc/startx.sh
because nvidia-xconfig is unfortunately very stupid. I might make this
look easy but many man hours and logistics went into this, so I hope
you will appreciate this and support the company via a subscription. I
must also credit Andreas Beckmann since his and other Debian
contributors helped me a lot with
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics-drivers/trunk/debian/
I have noticed Adobe Flash being a little more unstable on my nvidia
hardware, by going full screen and back in Youtube. Webconverger does
recover usually pretty well, but it's a concern.
Enjoy!
