Bug Description

I have a NVIDIA GeForceFX 5600 on my computer, but when I ask xorg to autodetect the graphic card (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg), it detects an SiS integrated card (which I don't have).

Thus, the xorg.conf file generated at installation (same for live-cd) is wrong because the driver is set to "sis" instead of "nv". The problem exists for Dapper Drake Flight CD 5, but not for Breezy.

I don't know what is needed for solving this bug, here is my lspci output:

Something went wrong with the autoconfiguration so attaching Xorg.0.log and your xorg.conf (unconfigured) would help as well

This is the good xorg.conf for my system. I had to select the driver myself (I also replaced the name of the card).

This is the Xorg.0.log after running xorg with the wrong xorg.conf file... As you can see, it doesn't work :-) (it can't!)

Same here and i use "nVIDIA GeForce2 400 MX" which xserver detects as a intergraded SiS card which my motherboard doesnt even have however the mb model is a Intel somethings somethings with SiS intergraded components such as 100mb, sound, and some other things but NOT grafic components.

Really need this fixed cause even if i pick nv drivers then xserver starts to crash instead and resets my resolution to 640x480 time after time and/or stops xserver from running at all, giving me the "no devices found" message and forces me to reconfigure xserver over and over again, lemme know if more info is needed such as name of motherboard model -ect.
cheerios
