Comment 19 for bug 551013

This solution is not very useful if you need 3D acceleration.
I insist, maybe a solution could be that.
1. The default drivers for nvidia cards are nouveau.
2. if you want 3d acceleration you install the propietary drivers.
3. When you install the propietary drivers form the repositories the package
configures the system for use the nouveau driver to boot up and run
plymouth, and after running plymouth the system unloads the nouveau driver
and loads the propietary driver to use the 3D accelerated desktop.

Is possible to do it or I'm only imagining things.
