Arch Linux might be interesting, I need to read more or just will test
it. Gentoo, hm? OOTB (is there an 'OOTB'?) without ALSA?
"nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx removed from [extra]
2011-04-15
The nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx driver packages have been
removed from our repositories as they are incompatible with
newer xorg servers. This can only be fixed by an upstream
update, which has not happened yet.
For most video cards, the best alternative should be
xf86-video-nouveau; see:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
As lower-grade options, you might also consider xf86-video-nv
and xf86-video-vesa: simply remove the old nvidia driver(s),
install these, and the xorg
server ..." (http://www.archlinux.org/)
On Ubuntu I'm using the proprietary driver and the old FLOSS nv,
I removed nouveau.
Btw. at startup I'm switching my xorg.conf regarding to the
kernel by
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
case $(uname -r) in
*rt*)
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
;;
*)
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
;;
esac
OTOH I never got 3D acceleration for the integrated ATI
graphics. So Arch might be not what I'm looking for.
I wonder if they do have something similar to Synaptic?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman
I wish to have something similar to Synaptic, regading to the
comfort and history.
I wish to have an already stable environment, for Gentoo even
ALSA isn't set:

Ebuilds, no packages?
Thank you,
Ralf
