** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I am using an Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 on Kubuntu with Ubuntu metapackage 
installed too. Worked fine in Feisty and Gutsy.
  I upgraded from Gutsy with the restricted driver removed. After, the screen 
looked slightly shifted to the left (start button), and found the card was was 
set to vesa. I discovered the "Hardware Drivers Manager" in the "System" menu 
and selected the restricted driver.
  After a reboot I got dumped at the console. It complained displayconfig-gtk 
was not installed, so I apt-get to install. After another reboot I got a VGA 
screen with the displayconfig dialog. The dialog shows only vesa, and driver 
available "open source" and greyed out.
  I can select the geforce2 card, but this seems to be ignored. Monitor is 
shown correctly, but Resolution allows 800x600 only. After a reboot it logged 
in with correct maximum resolution 1024x768, card vesa, driver nv, restricted 
driver has been deselected by the system.
  
  I read about installing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-xx-386 manually
  so I did this and got different behavior. Now if I select resticted
  driver and reboot, I get the displayconfig dialog. It correctly detects
  the card, but not the monitor. So I select it manually, set the
  resolution and get dumped in the console. Reboot and its back the
  displayconfig but the card is vesa again.
  
  I know you cant use dpkg reconfigure-xserver xorg any more, so thats me
  stuck!
  
  Please let me know what info is required to track this bug.
