Getting numeric output indicates that the pci.ids database doesn't
contain an entry for this model (usually new devices that appeared
later).

I think 0de2 is "NVIDIA GeForce GT 420". You can get an updated PCI IDs
table using the update-pciids command (part of pciutils - note that this
will replace the one installed by the hwdata RPM so you may want to back
it up if you want to preserve the original).
This ID is defined in the current list but not the version present on my
F17 systems:
0de2 GF108 [GeForce GT 420]
If it's a recent device that may explain why it's not known to nouveau
(if that's the case).
The X log should show whether it's using vesa or nouveau.
