Bug Description

I have a geforce 7800 GS (AGP version).

Live CD and a fresh installation default to the vesa driver but my card is working fine with the nv driver.

The nv driver detects my card as a 7900 GS, but it's working.

To proof that I've attached a xorg.log ;)

Every video card defaults to vesa until you enable the restricted driver.

hmm, ok.

I was just wondering because my other computer has got a radeon 9600XT which defaults to the xorg ati driver...
