Public bug reported:
X.org server 1.5 has a feature (PCI_TXT_IDS_DIR) that can be enabled in
configure to specify a directory of files mapping PCI Ids to video card
drivers - in fact this is one of the Debian-specific patches that is in
Ubuntu 8.04, and has now been moved upstream. However it is now no
longer used in Ubuntu, although the directory with the files is still
supplied. This is needed in order to ship third party graphics drivers
and have them be autoconfigured without fiddling with xorg.conf from a
script, which is clearly bad (my use case is the VirtualBox guest
graphics driver). It would be nice if you could give some response on
this, specifically if I can expect to see it in 8.10 (even if the answer
is no :-)
