I would like to remove the Nvidia bootsplash logo, however solutions on the internet recommend adding Option "NoLogo" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

However my machine doesn't have that config file and since I plug into different monitors all the time (it's my travelling computer) I would like to avoid having a xorg.conf at all and let the magical autoconfiguring thing just happen.

Is there a way I can remove the logo without a xorg.conf?

  • You don't need to have monitor-specific settings in xorg.conf, so why would magical autoconfiguring be affected? – muru Sep 14 '15 at 17:58
  • Odd... I don't recall having disabled the logo, but I don't see it when X starts up anymore. I'm using 352.41 on Arch. Which version of the drivers do you have? – muru Sep 14 '15 at 18:06
  • Adjusting autoconfigured only as much as needed is definitely better than disabling autoconfiguration altogether. Especially that in my case, xorg.conf made with X -configure as in http://askubuntu.com/a/281685/23373 yielded configuration that did not work. @JoergeCastro's own answer did the trick. – Piotr Findeisen Apr 01 '16 at 21:47

Should work if you run

sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo

That will write a minimal xorg.conf file, which should be fine.

I am not sure there is a way to do this outside of xorg.conf

Ok found a nice way to do this:

Make a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nosplash.conf with this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Nvidia Card"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection

That way I don't need a minimal xorg.conf at all in /etc/X11.
