Bug#586081: Nouveau autodetection in xserver-xorg-core brokes nvidia autodetection and switches to vesa
I still have the bug.
No kernel update or initramfs update would help.
Xorg detects my GeForce 7300Go but doesn't use nouveau or nv but
vesa instead. Vesa is not only slow, but it also does not detect the
native resolution of my laptop.
The bug has nothing to do with the nv package it is a problem in the
xserver-xorg-core package as the maintainer(s) changed the
autodetection of nvidia cards, that broke the whole thing here.
xserver-xorg-core (with the problem): 1.7.7-2
No problem xserver-xorg-core : 1.7.7-1
Nvidia card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M
[Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
The Xorg.0.log looks exactly the same as the one from the initial error
report (with the exception of the detected hardware been mine geforce
7300 go)
