Some time back he posted his xorg.conf file. It noted VESA as the
driver. Ergo, he has one. Somewhere.
You know what? If the OP would type sudo lshw and uparrow to read the
display section, then we'd KNOW what the system thinks he has.
Mine reads:

Prolly should have suggested this before... then we'd KNOW what the bios
is letting the OS play with. So, if the OP would do this, and report his
result, that will narrow down the problem.
<slaps forehead> I should have had a V-8. <chuckles> Ric
This is what I get, my Nvidia 6600gt is listed at the bottom
