Description Ellen Shull 2006-02-01 04:56:31 UTC
Description of problem:
Anaconda seemed to detect NV43-based card (PNY GF 6600) properly, but set up
xorg.conf to use vesa driver instead of nv.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-10.91.4-1.i386.rpm

How reproducible:
Not that bored :P

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Buy GF6600
2.  install FC5T2
3.  don't profit
  
Actual results:
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "vesa"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]"
EndSection

Expected results:
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]"
EndSection

Additional info:
Did graphical install.  For all I remember I spaced and missed a dialog where I
should have selected nv instead of vesa, but if that's the case it still should
have defaulted to nv.

The nv driver package should be including a file that contains a list of PCI ids
it supports.
