I agree with your observation. I had the same experience and was on the
list probably last week with queries on the same lines. As obvious went
through the docs now and added certain sections to the XF86Config-4
file, ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and still got X working
perfectly. For the sake of checking I chose nv as the driver and had the
actual driver set elsewhere. It worked like a charm.
