Bug#652995: nvidia-xconfig: (EE) No devices detected

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: nvidia-xconfig
Version: 290.10-1
Severity: important


Hi,

I would like to take advantage of hardware acceleration, it does not work by default [1]. I then tried to install latest nvidia-kernel-dkms from testing.
Everything install properly (congrats). However when generating the default nvidia-xconfig -> xorg.conf file I keep on getting:

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00 at 00:02:0
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found


It looks like I am in a weird situtation where I have two VGA controller:
$ lspci| grep VGA 
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df5 (rev a1)


I have not been able to find documentation on how to generate a proper xorg.conf in this case. Thus I am filling this bug against nvidia-xconfig.

Thanks !
