The XFree86 X server used the driver it was told to use.

There are only two ways you can tell the XFree86 X server which driver to
use in the d-i environment:

1) Answer a debconf question.
2) Have the question pre-answered by discover.

Consequently, this looks like a discover-data bug to me.

Reassigning.

Discover-data maintainers,

If discover-data doesn't actually report "apm" as the XFree86 4.x X server
driver for the ATI Radeon Mobility U1 (that's "Class 0300: 1002:4336"),
then this must have been user error.

Martin,

Please keep the above mechanism in mind for future reference.  Our XFree86
packages perform *no* autodetection of drivers themselves.
