Bug Description

I upgraded to Intrepid today. The 23rd of October. After rebooting I was dropped to the console. The cause was becasue X no longer automatically detects my NVidia card. It's a PCIe card. I have two PCIe cards in the system, both NVidia. lspci shows them. Xorg.0.log basically just says it cannot find a card.

If I specify Driver/BusID in Xorg.conf, it works. Those are the only two additions to the file. I sort of think this is an important issue. Silly me!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. Thanks in advance.

Jerome, could you please attach the output of "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" as well as your current xorg.conf. Thank you.

Oh. Uh. I posted that work around. So of course it works for me. But I thought you were refering to the removal of xorg.conf, as it's the first suggestion that I myself did not suggest.
