There is a bug in xserver-xorg.postinst.in, which assumes that the first line is the actual one we should use. Unfortunately, it seems that this cannot be fixed reliably. If discover doesn't recognize the device (=it isn't mapped to a X driver), output is like this:
nexus6 X11 # discover --disable=serial,parallel,usb,ide,scsi --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video parse error reading X server string `unknown' parse error reading X server string `unknown' Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller unknown unknown (yes, I edited discover-data to not know that card) so, since you have a video capture device it has a similar output to a "unknown" one, and the script thinks you have an unsupported card and uses vesa. I don't know a way to fix this so that it won't be a) ugly b) reliable. -- vesa driver used instead of radeon for R300 https://launchpad.net/bugs/90175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
