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?

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.
