Looks like I see exactly the same problem with xorg-server 1.7.6. It's weird that nobody noticed that regression until we switched to xorg-server 1.8-pre. :-(

Luckily I was wrong. I used a xorg.conf with a Device section without any driver specified. Video driver autoselection works fine with xorg-server 1.7 if you don't have any xorg.conf at all. Just verified. There must be some regression between 1.7 and 1.8-pre. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll have a look as soon as I'm in the office. The old code path (no config at all) works as well with 1.8 but we always have some files in xorg.conf.d (at least for the keyboard, usually as well for other devices) so this path is not reached and the other path (config without driver selected) has been broken for ages. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
