Comment 12 for bug 1421209

It certainly makes sense to simply set up things when the nvidia module is loaded, although I plan to do it with a udev rule. This will make nvidia-modprobe redundant on the desktop (i.e. where X is started by default).

On the server (and on the desktop with Mir), however, X is not started, and there is nothing that loads the nvidia module (with root privileges). A udev rule should probably try to load the driver when the hardware is available.

This should make nvidia-modprobe largely redundant in both use cases.
