Bug Description

Binary package hint: discover-data

My NVIDIA 7600GTs are not detected as using the nv driver (which works fine) and uses vesa instead.

FTR, I have 2 of these cards but it should still detect the primary :)

I had this same problem with a single 7600 GT on Herd 5. It booted into vesa and when I ran dpkg-reconfigure it told me it couldn't detect what my video card was, I had to manually enter nvidia and ask for higher resolutions.
