Aargh. This PCI ID list was something Luc came up with and it's becoming 
a mainainability nuiscance since he just ignores updating it.

Xavier, your PCI id patch is really appreciated. Is it made against Xorg 
or the Pro snapshot? I'll need a kick in the but every once and again to 
include it in Xorg.

The best thing would be to work around it using BIOS / DMI / VGA info or 
whatever.

If anyone has time / info to look into this I'd be more than happy to 
review it an propagate it into Xorg.
