Thanks for the update-pciids tip. For the record, the first few lines from
lspci now read
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express DRAM
Controller (rev 02)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
From what you said above the 00:02.1 is fake so that leaves only the
00:02.0. There is nothing else in the list that refers to video or
graphics.
What matters is only the kinds of outputs that may be plugged (VGA, DVI,
...).
If you only have a signle VGA output, then either the driver is buggy,
or there's a hidden second VGA output somewhere.
You might want to check in the BIOS in case something rings a bell.
Nothing in the BIOS that I could find. I think it must be a buggy driver
since I only have one VGA output and no DVI (or any other extra port related
to video when you look at the internal and external connector list from the
ASUS P5K-V MB manual).
Let me know if there is any other information you need to track this
"VGA-1" problem down.
