I use nVidia + X.org + Fluxbox regularly on GRML. Autodetection causes no problems. Remember, GRML is a text-tools distro. It doesn't care what you do with X.
GRML does not autodetect nVidia and install the drivers. But default video ("autodetected") still works on those boards. Personally I wish GRML would autodetect nVidia.
Autodetection is the better way to go. The less thinking I must do in terms of config files, drivers, and whatnot, the easier computers are to use. Let them think for me. That's what autodetection is all about.
For that reason, I hope makers of old and new Linux desktop distros will consider using GRML as a foundation. You could not ask for a better one.
