Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
Hi,
I've installed 6.06 flight 7 on an Athlon xp-2500+ machine with nvidia nForce2 video adapter.
I ran 'nvidia-glx-config enable' to configure the X server.
xorg.conf was generated as follows:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Fatal server error:

after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Looks like the bus id was incorrectly set to PCI:0:5:0.
X says that PCI:2:0:0 was found.
Indeed, in lspci output we can see that 2:0:0 is the correct value:

Let me know if you need any help in reproducing this
or testing a fix.
Thanks a lot,
Etay Meiri
Forgot to mention that the workaround was simply
to comment out the bus id line in xorg.conf.
