NetworkManager to work without a UI open, you need a global connection and you do it like this:
Note permissions need to be:
And you start it like this:

I constructed the above file line for line from a user connection which is in a totally different format. I couldn't find an automatic way to translate them, either, but this was the source:
As you can see, each file corresponds to a section in the flat file. Some entries are somehow empty/null, you don't need to include those for it to work.
And yes, I'm fully aware that these are real security details, good luck to whoever finds the router that they belong to! :-p

Re: Debian On Mac Mini
If by "partially" you mean, as it looks, to add the minimum Nvidia support to a default xorg.conf file, you can run nvidia-xconfig (part of the nvidia-current package) on the command line as root or via sudo. Restart the greeter or computer and X will launch with the proprietary module and 3D support loaded.Fred wrote:For the record, I'd been wondering how to partially configure X11 for quite a long time, and never bothered to research it.
If anyone uses an older Ubuntu, such as Lucid for its current LTS status, be warned that there's a race condition where the greeter may try to load before the nvidia kernel module and result in a series of "low graphics" prompts as it drops into failsafe. This has been especially temperamental on Macs at cold start for some reason. A number kludges exist which call for delaying the greeter (kdm, gdm, etc.) by a matter of seconds, though it appears they refused to correct the issue until later Ubuntu releases.

Re: Debian On Mac Mini
No, I meant more generally, as in, just adjust one module for some reason, such as mouse or driver or whatever, without affecting the other auto stuff. Dropping a full config in place destroys the auto stuff, and isn't a nice approach. I just never looked for it until I got to this :-)

Re: Debian On Mac Mini
Two things:
Removing it seems to break Gnome in Ubuntu 11.?
It didn't solve the issue, it was a driver issue in Ubuntu, though it could have been two issues.
