Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

I have a pair of PCI-E 7600GT cards, the live cd fails to detect them as using the "nv" driver [which works if i put it in manually and start a second X server] and sues "vesa" instead which is terribly slow.

lspci output:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0391 (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0391 (rev a1)

Heres full output for the first card
