Xorg.0.log shows that GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is still supported by X 1.12.4 but X -configure failed with error appended below. This Video adapter works under X server 1.7.7. 
xorg.conf.new did not contain any information about adapter model or type as old X server 1.7.7 does:

------- 1.12.4 xorg.conf.new ----

        #Option     "DualHead"                  # [<bool>]
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nv"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

--------- 1.7.7 xorg.conf ---------
        #Option     "DualHead"                  # [<bool>]
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        BoardName   "NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection


It look like that new X server may not understand this adapter.
Is anyway to make this video card working under X 1.12.4?
