On systems prior to Fedora 25 the modules directory is specified in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-nvidia.conf, which is always loaded even if a user has a custom xorg.conf. On Fedora 25+, if the driver is installed and is not actually used (fallback scenario) this makes the X server to always load the Nvidia extension.
On Fedora 25+ the OutputClass configuration for the i915 driver is alreay at this default for Intel gen4+ systems, on Intel gen3 systems it prevents the usage of Glamor and there are no gen3 Optimus laptops.
- Bring default RHEL 6 X.org configuration on par with Fedora/RHEL 7+ and make sure it is installed by default.
- Install RHEL 6 X.org configuration template only on RHEL 6, make sure it does not end in .conf to avoid confusion.
- Simplify GRUB installation for Grub 1 (RHEL 6) and Grub 2 (RHEL 7+/Fedora), do not use obsolete kernel parameters.
- Do not regenerate all the Grub configuration the user might have, just add the required parameters.
- Add kernel parameters to default grub file on Fedora/RHEL 7+ just in case the user uses grub-mkconfig.
This also simplifies Grub configuration for other distributions and removes the "upgrade path" from Fedora 16 Grub 1.
- Fix files listed twice during build.
- Install non conflicting libraries in standard locations, remove all redundant directory overrides for the various distributions.
- Explicitly list all libraries included in the packages, avoid too many if/exclude directives.
- Make CUDA subpackages multilib compliant (no more CUDA i686 binaries on x86_64).
- Do not require main packages for libraries subpackages, this makes possible to build things that link to Nvidia drivers using only libraries and not pulling all the graphic driver components.
- Various fixups from Nicolas Chauvet:
* buildroot
* glvnd vulkan to use _datadir
* Use nvidia_libdir for alternate install file
* arm and opencl
Add nvidia-uvm configuration rule to make sure that:
- the module does get loaded automatically if installing the cuda subpackage
- the module configuration file does not try to pull in the module in the initrd
