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. The output of lspci -vvx is at the bottom of this report. Bugs 50503 and 50504 are probably related to this bug.
