Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: envyng-core

Using Ubuntu 8.04.2 Server
Graphics card - nvidia geforce 7050 610i
Video driver - 173.14.12

The update manager reported that a new kernel package was available for
my server kernel 2.6.24-24.

Graphics was working fine on 2.6.24-23 (total regret upgrading... this
troubleshooting was not on my todo list :( )

I had original installed nVidia drivers with EnvyNG.  Worked like a
champ.  Compiz and all.

Now when I boot, I get a window saying that I am in low graphics mode.
I have tried many things but have not been able to resolve including
removing and reinstalling via envyng.  Reverting through grub doesn't
help either.

In the Xorg.0.log file i see near the top that it is using xorg.conf.failsafe instead of my xorg.conf.  Following a troubleshooting suggestion, I forced the system to use the xorg.conf file and output the log to a file which is attached.  The key thing seems to be that the chipset is unknown when it should be. Here is the line from the log file:  
(--) PCI:*(0:16:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x07e3) rev 162, Mem @ 0xfd000000/24, 0xd0000000/28, 0xfc000000/24, BIOS @ 0xfeb40000/17

I have attached debugging logs.

Love to get the fixed...  Being stuck in 800x600 blows.  Please help.
Thanks
