actually, could you run discover --disable=serial,parallel,usb,ide,scsi --format=%V %M\t%S\t%D\n video 2/dev/null I missed the '2/dev/null' -part which means that error messages are directed to /dev/null, and they are not seen by the postinst.

[Bug 90175] Re: vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300
I see discover2 differences between viedo outpu devices (gfx cards), that is calls display and video in devices, called video. discover1 mixes them all into video. Even then, xserver-xorg.postinst.in should be fixed. Why assume the first entry in the list is correct ? The list has no rule for ordering item, has it ? So it it is practically random. Choosing a random entry from a list can't be a good plan. -- vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300 https://launchpad.net/bugs/90175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 90175] Re: vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300
There is a bug in xserver-xorg.postinst.in, which assumes that the first line is the actual one we should use. Unfortunately, it seems that this cannot be fixed reliably. If discover doesn't recognize the device (=it isn't mapped to a X driver), output is like this: nexus6 X11 # discover --disable=serial,parallel,usb,ide,scsi --format=%V %M\t%S\t%D\n video parse error reading X server string `unknown' parse error reading X server string `unknown' Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controllerunknown unknown (yes, I edited discover-data to not know that card) so, since you have a video capture device it has a similar output to a unknown one, and the script thinks you have an unsupported card and uses vesa. I don't know a way to fix this so that it won't be a) ugly b) reliable. -- vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300 https://launchpad.net/bugs/90175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 90175] Re: vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300
Is it that hard to tell video capture an gfx cards apart ? Yesterday I experienced a small wonder. I booted a live Cd (not Ubuntu) on the same PC and : - it used the correct driver - it didn't try to make me blind with screen flickering (it used a 70 Hz vrefresh) I guess Ubuntu's goals don't match mine. -- vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300 https://launchpad.net/bugs/90175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 90175] Re: vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300
no need to be sarcastic, I know this sucks ;) What I don't know is why discover lists your tv-tuner as a video card. Maybe we could just add 'tvcard' to the --disable list?
