We're moving this information to be maintained in the driver packages where it
can be updated more regularly and as a regular part of the build process rather
than relying on a manual process of syncing stuff.

This is not the case, see below...

Which is unimportant, see below...

Correct, this above is the video card.

<obiwan> These are not the droids you are looking for.

                ^^^^
This is the VGA device, which is what is used by the installer and all
hardware detection software to detect video hardware.  All class 0300
devices are VGA, which get mapped to a driver.

> 01:00.1 Class 0380: 1002:5940 (rev 01)

This is a class 0380 device, which is not VGA, and is ignored.


As shown by lspci above, the VGA device is known by pcitable.  That PCI ID
will be mapped to the proper driver by the config tools, with the videoalias
files that will be present in a future driver build.
