Somebody made similar experiences?system-config-display has its own auto-detection logic which is not the same as X.org's. For most cards it gets the same result, but not all. For NVIDIA cards, s-c-d will give you a config that tries to use the 'nv' driver, not 'nouveau'. This fails because the nouveau kernel driver gets loaded automatically on boot, and nv won't work as long as the nouveau kernel module is loaded. If you just change the 'nv' in the xorg.conf to 'nouveau' it ought to work. I'll update your bug to explain the problem (and provide a patch, if I'm un-lazy enough).
Hi Adam,this may be OK, but, rather weird, my system contains *no* xorg.conf, but it is fully running with the Gnome desktop. How to modify a no-existing file :-)
