This justification on this issue is it was an issue in Jaunty that got fixed before release. When users install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Studio XPS 1340 they can not get graphics at all and xorg fails. This is because this machine uses Nvidia Hybrid graphics, and the graphics core trying to be used is not supported by the nv driver.
The patches that fixed this in Jaunty apparently didn't make into upstream xorg or something has changed. The patches in Jaunty would actually use the first graphics card found on the bus. In this case and other hybrid card cases that card is the one that is supported by the open source driver.
