(Get the code!)
I totaly agree with Jonathon. It was discuted in the ML [1]. The best solution was to add a debconf key which ask the user if he want to "activate" to driver. The default should be "yes" and the priority should be high. like that normal users will have the driver enabled by default without any question, and power-users can still disable the driver easily.
To enable the driver, just run on the postinst of nvidia-glx a command like «nvidia-glx-config enable».
Many other configs can be added to debconf keys and applied using «nvidia-xconfig» command.
As mentioned in the thread [1] this is not the ideal solution, X should automaticaly select the right driver when starting, without any configuration, but I think that's the long-term solution. We really need a simple workaround in time for dapper !
