Public bug reported:

In its current form, X fails to match Geode LX hardware with the
corresponding "geode" X driver, instead reverting to the "vesa" driver,
on hosts launching without any xorg.conf, or whose xorg.conf omits the
Driver statement in the Device section.

This has been verified on various Geode LX -based hardware featuring
BIOS from a variety of vendors.

Suspicion is that patching hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c to add the
PCI ID for Geode LX would fix this. A patch is attached towards this
effect.

** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
