Yeah, this doesn't work for me.  Upstart complains about not knowing anything 
about xserver.  I do have xorg-server installed, and I have this in my 
configuration.nix:

  services = {
          sshd = {
                  enable = true;
          };
          xserver = {
                  enable = true;
                  videoDriver = "i810";
                  driSupport = true;
                  resolutions = [{x = 1024; y = 768;}];
                  sessionType = "kde";
          };
  };

Is there some magic that has to be performed after installing xserver to make 
Upstart aware of it?

In an unrelated note, the wireless ipw2200 modules isn't loading correctly for 
me under nix; it complains about being unable to load the firmware.  The 
udev-fw log in /var/logs has a single line:

	Firmware `ipw2200-bss.fw' for device 
`/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:04.0/0000:02:04.0' not found.

and -- again -- I do have the ipw2200-fw-3.0 installed.  Again, is there some 
magic which, after installing this, needs to be run to make the system aware 
of it?
