The "nv" driver that comes with XFree86 only supports DVI in
version 4.3. Even then, you may need to put
Option "FlatPanel"
and/or
Option "CrtcNumber" "1"
in the Section "Device" of the XF86Config.
The driver will try to detect a flat panel and will usually be
sucessful if the core XFree86 code was able to read the monitor's
EDID, but the driver has a hard time detecting on which head it
should be looking for it. Improving detection of this is an area
of future work in the "nv" driver.
