Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk
In the "Choose Graphics Card Driver" dialog, the dropdown list ("Choose
driver by name:") doesn't contain the "via" driver. But in the parent
dialog (with the "Driver:" and "Video Memory:" controls) the driver "via
- VIA Unichrome (CLE266, KM400/KN400..." is displayed. So the system is
using the correct driver for my VIA Epia board, and the main
displayconfig dialog shows this correctly, but the driver selection
dialog lacks this driver. One consequence is that initially the "Choose
driver by name:" dropdown list has no entry selected; the other thing is
that even though the driver is initially correct, I will not be able to
switch to another driver and then back to "via".
The reason why the driver is not listed seems to be that
displayconfigabstraction.py (in guidance-backend) doesn't list it. After
modifiyng GfxCardModelDB.__init__() and adding the "via" string to the
self.drivers.extend() command, the dialog lists this driver correctly.
Btw. the same problem seems to exist for several other drivers that are
mentioned in displayconfiggtk/information.py but not in
displayconfigabstraction.py (like the "ast" driver).
