I agree with this bug.
I was a bit surprised when I found just one line in my Section "Device", that's
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Then I guess x.org has changed some behavior. Although the graphic card is working, I want to known how x.org manager to 'guess' my driver and options.
I found a GUI setting window (hides in Other -> Screens and Graphic) for users to select a model or select a driver.
Then I 'accidently' choosed intel -> i915 driver, cause x.org is running well I don't really need to choose. Next time I login, I was in low resolution and x report a error, driver not found! I have to change xorg.conf manually, especially adding the *one line* I mentioned above, to get X working again.
I beg this should not happen especially to newbies.
