I never said that it should just "match NVIDIA as a vendor". I said that
"nv.ids" should explicitely have, or match with whildcards/bitmasks,
PCI-IDs of all hardware -nv *supports*, nothing more, nothing less, and
that's not an upstream problem. "nv.ids" is not generated by upstream.
So the problem are the cards with PCI-IDs 02Ex (02E0, 02E1, 02E2, 02E3
and 02E4, to be exact) and 00Fx (where x is 1-F) because of the way
"nv.ids" is generated at the moment. While generating "nv.ids", the
piece of code I put up there was not taken into consideration, so
"nv.ids" is missing some PCI-IDs of card that are properly supported by
-nv.

It's not realy a big problem, it's only autodetection that's not
working. I, myself, have no problem with that. I know how to fix the
problem, but that's not the case for everybody.

nv, autodetection fails because of missing PCI-IDs, in nv.ids, for a large number of supported cards in Jaunty
