In this update:
* binaries `ckb` and `ckb-daemon` are renamed to `ckb-next` and `ckb-next-daemon`
* build system changed from qmake to cmake
* the directory searched for animation plugins no longer needs to be patched, as a result of the build system change
* modprobe patch has been bumped, since the source repository layout has changed
* the cmake scripts are quite FHS-centric and require patching to fix install locations
This adds configuration options which automate the configuration of NVIDIA Optimus using PRIME. This allows using the NVIDIA proprietary driver on Optimus laptops, in order to render using the NVIDIA GPU while outputting to displays connected only to the integrated Intel GPU. It also adds an option for enabling kernel modesetting for the NVIDIA driver (via a kernel command line flag); this is particularly useful together with Optimus/PRIME because it fixes tearing on PRIME-connected screens.
The user still needs to enable the Optimus/PRIME feature and specify the bus IDs of the Intel and NVIDIA GPUs, but this is still much easier for users and more reliable. The implementation handles both the X configuration file as well as getting display managers to run certain necessary `xrandr` commands just after X has started.
Configuration of commands run after X startup is done using a new configuration option `services.xserver.displayManager.setupCommands`. Support for this option is implemented for LightDM, GDM and SDDM; all of these have been tested with this feature including logging into a Plasma session.
Note: support of `setupCommands` for GDM is implemented by making GDM run the session executable via a wrapper; the wrapper will run the `setupCommands` before execing. This seemed like the simplest and most reliable approach, and solves running these commands both for GDM's X server and user X servers (GDM starts separate X servers for itself and user sessions). An alternative approach would be with autostart files but that seems harder to set up and less reliable.
Note that some simple features for X configuration file generation (in `xserver.nix`) are added which are used in the implementation:
- `services.xserver.extraConfig`: Allows adding arbitrary new sections. This is used to add the Device section for the Intel GPU.
- `deviceSection` and `screenSection` within `services.xserver.drivers`. This allows the nvidia configuration module to add additional contents into the `Device` and `Screen` sections of the "nvidia" driver, and not into such sections for other drivers that may be enabled.
By default, OnlyKey device (https://crp.to/p/) won't work on Linux (and,
therefore, NixOS). This is unintuitive and requires one to search for a
solution in the documentation.
This change allows one to enable OnlyKey device support directly from
their NixOS configuration.

All available options were just enabling
hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware. There were nix files without
modules which weren't referenced anywhere.
Due the recent inclusion of broadcom-bt-firmware in enableAllFirmware,
it was required to set `nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree` to obtain the full
list. To make this dependency more explicit an assertion is added and an
alternative option `enableRedistributalFirmware` is provided to only
obtain firmware with an license allowing redistribution.
This PR adds support for ```iio-sensor-proxy``` used by GNOME v3 and
others for reading data from the accelerometer, gps, compass and similar sensors
built into some relatively recent laptops.
Additionally, there is a NixOS module exposed via hardware.sensor.iio
for enabling services, udev rules and dbus services.
ckb is a driver for Corsair keyboards/mice. It also contains a graphical tool for configuring their LED backlight settings.
The driver is implemented as a userland daemon. A NixOS module is included that runs this as a systemd service.
...instead of mesa_noglu.out. Closures of systems remain unchanged,
as both are in (and the .out output is very small anyway).
This is to make sure that we use lib*GL* that aren't slowed down by grsecurity.
The pre-sleep service exits if any command fails. Unloading facetimehd
without it being loaded blocks subsequent commands from running.
Note: `modprobe -r` works a bit better when unloading unused modules,
and is preferrable to `rmmod`. However, the facetimehd module does not
support suspending. In this case, it seems preferable to forcefully
unload the module. `modprobe` does not support a `--force` flag when
removing, so we are left with `rmmod`.

This commit adds the firmware for the Intel 2200BG wireless cards for
the ipw2200 kernel module. Also it changes the
networking.enableIntel2200BGFirmware option to set it as
hardware.firmware since firmware-linux-nonfree does not contain the
appropiate firmware anymore. Also hardware.enableAllFirmware does enable
the intel2200BGFirmware now.
