Hi all,
i'm pretty new to this mailing list, and starting off with a question
that's been bothering me for a few days now:
Debconf does not seem to recognize my videocard automatically, so i
tried configuring it with the standard debconf preseed file. Contents of
this is as follows:
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model string pc105
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/autodetect_monitor boolean true
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/autodetect_keyboard boolean true
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/autodetect_mouse boolean true
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/autodetect_video_card boolean false
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/device/driver select nvidia
xserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/device/identifier string nVidia
Quadro FX 440
However, instead of recognizing the card as vesa it will set the driver
string to apm. I suspect this is because nvidia-glx is not installed yet
at the moment xserver-xorg gets configured, causing the choice nvidia to
not be available.
Is there a way to either force debconf to set driver to nvidia wether or
not it exists, or to make sure nvidia-glx is installed before
xserver-xorg is configured?
Greetings,
