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?
