Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-nv
I have a brand new Thinkpad T61P laptop, which has a lot of new
hardware. For display, it uses an Nvidia Quadro FX570M. The nv driver
doesn't appear to support this, but xorg still tries to use it by
default. The vesa driver does appear to work suitably (obviously there's
no 3D acceleration or Xv video playback support available, but the
desktop is quite usable otherwise.
I see two options:
1) Update "nv" so that it does support the latest and greatest nvidia chips
before gutsy release, which is may be "G84" based. Dunno if those drivers are
even available in CVS.
2) Update the driver detection code to know that modern nvidia chips are only
supported "out of the box" by vesa
** Affects: xserver-xorg-driver-nv (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided

[gutsy] "nv" is not new enough to support my chipset (Quadro FX 570M), but is
detected as the most appropriate display driver during installation
