It has its own, quite different, configuration logic, and it gives you the result of that. what s-c-d says is not necessarily either a) what you're currently actually using or b) what X server would auto-detect. > Besides, > when I deliberately switched to nouveau with the display dialog and > tried to reset x, x got into a permanent retry loop. > >> Maybe nouveau is not supporting my device. > >> > > > > That's probably it.

This blacklisting is done in the X server's auto-detection code, which the installer uses just like a regular desktop does. > How do I verify?
