Bug Description
This is regarding a Canonical-issued Toshiba Tecra M2 unit for laptop testing.
The M2 has an NVIDIA GeForce FX Go 5200. Updated the unit today on the latest
Breezy packages, 2.6.12-8-386 just now there are no updated to download. After
the upgrade, the 1024x768 display became blurry and I did a reboot to test the
new kernel. After the reboot, Xorg didnt start. I checked at the error at it
says "No screens found". Looking furter at xorg.conf, the Driver used is
"vmware" instead of "nv". Doing a reconfigure of xserver-xorg doesn't give me
the list of drivers to be used and reverts back to "vmware". I have to edit
xorg.conf to use "nv" but this results to a screen that only uses 640x480.
