Bug#248480: xserver-fbdev: assumption made that discover will detect video (old thinkpad 380d)

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net>]

Package: xserver-fbdev
Severity: normal


branden, hi,

on both this and the xserver-svga packages, there is an assumption
that if the discover package exists, to search for the video bus,
but if that video bus doesn't exist, the dpkg config exits with
an error.

surely if the video bus does not exist it should be assumed that
discover cannot be used and then to proceed as if discover isn't
there?

sincerely,

l.
