I made the driver print a warning line right after that point and this is the result: (WW) NV: Detected device 0x10de0393 (GeForce 7300 GT) at 01@00:00:0 The problem is that pci-id of my card (02E2) is not in /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/nv.ids Without my patch: :~$ grep 02E2 /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/* With my patch: :~$ grep 02E2 /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/* /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/nv.ids:10DE02E2 :~$ lspci -n |grep 300 01:00.0 0300: 10de:02e2 (rev a2) This is why, as you can see in autodetection.log X doesn't use "nv" for my card when no driver is specified in the xorg.conf. In manualdetection.log you can see what happens when I set the driver to "nv" manually. The NVGetPCIXpressChip case is used when the driver is being loaded but we need to handle this before so that X knows which driver has to be used. Regards, Alberto</body></html>
