Debian live supports hardcoding certain cards to certain drivers via
putting files in /usr/share/live/config/xserver-xorg/ (which are used by
the 1150-xserver-xorg script in live-config).  The prop nvidia drivers come
with lists of pci id's they support (which are used by 1150-xserver-xorg),
but there us no such list for fglrx/radeon.  Does anyone maintain a list of
when to use vesa or radeon instead of fglrx for ATI cards?
