Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg The dpkg-reconfigure script for xserver-xorg fails to detect the video card and monitor hardware on my system. It defaults to generic vesa and generic monitor. This is dapper specific; it was all good on breezy. lspci detects the video card.

I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. It fails to detect my video hardware, and defaults to the generic vesa driver. It must be a problem with the detector script or program in the xserver- org reconfigure, because the hardware is detectable by lspci -X. lspci -X returns "PCI:1:0:0 VGA compatible
