hehe, more clarification on that: having them on the wiki is a good thing. that's what the wiki is for, finding documentation for special setups. I don't think we need to maintain and ship them as part of the driver thoguh. having said that, i think that the scripts we have on this page should explain a bit better _what_ they are actually doing instead of just providing the full list (I added a fixme to the page for now). And of course there's the argument that one or two examples should be enough and we don't need to worry about updating the list for every single ID as it comes out but rather teach the users how to add it to their setup if they need it.
