The fb console does not care about the accelerator id.  It's only use
is for user apps to detect what kind of hardware the driver is bound to.

On a side note:  A more accurate way is to just examine the contents of
/sys/class/graphics/fb[num].  It contains the PCI vendor and device id's plus
other information which are quite helpful for userspace apps.

It will need a recent 2.6 kernel, and a rewrite of DirectFB's detection
code.
