What do you mean by "don't exist"? It is normal that a PCI VGA card
will show up as "not configured". We only have a generic VGA driver
for text console support. All the hard card-specific stuff is done
by XFree86.
The bits of output you sent don't mention any sound card. Is there
an on-board sound chip, and if so, what kind is it?
