A default install from the live CD sets display resolution to 1024x768. Display on this machine is 1440x900.

A default install from the live CD sets display resolution to 1024x768. Display on this machine is 1440x900. This piece of X11/xorg.conf suggests that it's not recognising the card at all, that's a regression from 6.10 which set the resolution correctly.

Attempting to install nvidia-glx gives bug #87522 Bug #79016 is with GeForce Go 7300 which is also not originally detected and sets resolution wrong, and uses the vesa driver. Basically these two bugs are pretty identical on the two graphics cards. As mentioned in bug #87522 running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" seems to fix everything, the correct driver is used (nv) and the correct resolution is available.

2007-03-15 21:04:21 Timo Aaltonen xorg: statusexplanation I'll just mark this as fixed and save you from testing :) From bug #87522 I got the pci-id of your card, and it wasn't supported on Herd4, but a newer discover-data has been uploaded since. If you try the Feisty beta (or a pre-beta) livecd and notice that it still is misdetected, please reopen this bug.
