/var/log/Xorg.0.log ought to show what's happening.  Or 0 ... to 9.

'the driver from nvidia'?  Which one? but perhaps you want to run nouveau?

------

The Xorg logs from the 3.7.9-104 kernel clearly show that the VGA is detected:
[    48.288] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Printing probed modes for output VGA-1
[    48.288] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 connected

The Xorg logs from the 3.8.3-103 (and newer 3.8.4-102) kernels, show the driver believes the VGA is not connected:
[    46.357] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 disconnected

Starting to look like the driver was changed between 3.7  and 3.8 kernels?
