Is there a chance you upgrade to Etch? If you can't test with recent Xorg packages, since the bug is probably fixed nowadays, I'd rather close the bug for now and let you reopen it if you reproduce it one day with a recent Debian installation.

Yes, it was. I believe that the detected value is ignored because of auto_answer db_input "$(priority_ceil medium)" xserver-xfree86/autodetect_video_card "false" (the problem originally occurred during an initial install, but I was able to reproduce it by reinstalling with DEBIAN_PRIORITY set to high). -- Matt

If not, that's why the default was "vesa". If you can't remember, please purge the xserver-xfree86 package, and then reinstall it with the following environment variable set: DEBUG_XFREE86_DEBCONF=yes Be sure to export this variable. Then send this bug the output. -- G.

Bug#271599: defaults to wrong video card driver
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 Severity: wishlist The "Select the desired X server driver" question defaults to vesa, but when X starts (via gdm), it displays a blank, black screen. When I reconfigure X to use the i810 driver, it displays the gdm login dialog. The card appears to be detected by discover: $ discover --version discover version 1.6.6 $ discover --disable=serial,parallel --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] XFree86 i810 -- Matt Kraai[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://ftbfs.org/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
