NVIDIA card incorrectly configured in xorg.conf

[Mike Stoddart]

I installed Kubuntu Edgy onto my PC, which includes an NVIDIA GEForce 6600GT. It installed the nv driver as always, but I found that I couldn't install the nvidia driver using adept.

For some reason, the device bus ID in xorg.conf was incorrect. It was configured by the installer as:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Generic Video Card"
        Driver "nvidia"
        BusID "PCI:0:5:0"
        Option "RenderAccel" "1"
EndSection

When it should have been:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Generic Video Card"
        Driver "nvidia"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option "RenderAccel" "1"
EndSection

I discovered this by looking through /proc/info and then modified xorg.conf by hand. The nvidia driver successfully installed after that.

Ignore the line with:

Option "RenderAccel" "1"

I added this to xorg.conf after I got it working and I forgot to remove it when I pasted the section contents into this bug report.

The incorrect BusID sounds like Bug #48077...
