This bug still exists for a number of other GeForce 7xxx cards. The video cards affected are AGP versions of 7xxx family of cards. Both "/usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/nv.ids" and driver sources (nv_driver.c) are missing PCI-IDs. Affected video cards are AGP versions of GeForce 7600 GT (10de:02e0), GeForce 7600 GS (10de:02e1), GeForce 7300 GT (10de:02e2) (this one is fixed), GeForce 7900 GS (10de:02e3) and GeForce 7950 GT (10de:02e4). PCI-E versions of these cards are NOT affected (PCI-IDs are present).

Just booted Jauntu LiveCD yesterday for the first time and X server failed to detect my video card (AGP version of GeForce 7600 GS - 10de:02e1). VESA driver was used instead of nv driver. By manualy adding appropriate PCI-ID to "/usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/nv.ids" and restarting X server, autodetection worked like a charm and I didn't have any problems with nv driver - changing resolution and refresh rate worked.
