>Description:

When you are asked if you want to look at the cards database, and say yes,
a large number of entries are not displayed; e.g., *NO* ATI cards are shown.

When you are given the choice to pick a driver, the ati driver is not shown.

I can't reliably use xf86cfg in graphics mode on my monitor (Samsung
17" TFT LCD 760V). This bug is a near blocker to setting up X; if I
didn't know how to set up an XF86Config file by hand (having used it
for years), I'd be up the proverbial creek.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run xf86cfg -textmode; try to configure an ATI card.
