I never expected any support for the nvidia driver. I ran noveau for 
months because of that, and if wayland stops working better on it I will 
go back without complaint (at the moment it works better because it does 
not have the xcb_poll bug I have mentioned before).

There are reasons besides nvidia that somebody may need an 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file on their disk (I am pretty certain I needed it 
to run noveau because otherwise it would choose the vga driver).

It is stupid that you have to delete that file in order to run wayland 
xserver, but that is the current situation.

I attempted to patch this bug, and instead of any critique of the patch 
itself, all I seem to be getting is hostility because I dared to mention 
EEEVILLL nvidia. Holy crap!
