It's a Progeny tool, not yet packaged for Debian because it depends on a version of libdetect which Progeny forked from the official version (Mandrake's). The fork was pretty much my doing; I wanted a way to map video cards to X servers and drivers. The package's complaining about discover being absent is just debugging noise that has since been removed from the package. The XFree86 packages will work just fine in the absence of discover; you just have to pick your own X server and (for XFree86 4.x) driver for your video card. -- G.
