claims that nvidia is in use on live system

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

When starting the live system, r-m claims that nvidia is in use, although xorg.conf has nv.

This creates the wrong impression that we enabled binary drivers by default.

Indeed nvidia module is loaded on the live system. This is most likely because /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video does not force the lrm-video script onto the new nvidia_new module, so that it autoloads happily whenever there is an nvidia graphics card (catch-all modalias).

r-m should really ask X which driver it is currently using instead of checking for the module. If only someone would know how to do that...

Added nvidia_new to modprobe.d file so it gets the lrm-video install override.

 .
   * debian/linux-restricted-modules-common.modprobe: Add line for nvidia_new,
     so that it does not get autoloaded on boot. (LP: #105593)

Was fixed in l-r-m.
