Since lspci is seeing the card as "unknown", you may need to upgrade your kernel/system/lcpci utils. (I suspect you're running Woody; if this is a desktop workstation that does not need 24x7 reliability, you'd probably be better off with upgrading to unstable - opinions vary on this however.)Ok, I am starting to pick this up. Obviously I am totally new to Linux. I further read the info prior to the failure and it isn't detecting my primary device. I ran lspci and found my video card "00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corp.: Unknown device 0322 (rev a1)". When I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and try and enter "00:05.1" it rejects it as an invalid bus id. What would the appropriate bus id for that device be?
You can try the "vesa" or "nv" driver, which might help.Do you only have one video controller in your box? Instead of giving X the value of "00:05.1", either leave it blank (assuming an x86 system with only one video controller) or enter "00:05:0".
