Description Bastien Nocera 2006-07-06 13:43:12 UTC
hwdata-0.146.18.EL-1

The "Nvidia FX 550" requires the VESA driver to work properly, the nv driver on
that card hangs the machine hard.

Patch below.

Please submit pci.ids upstream on sf.net, then this should be ok to go in.

The Current SF device entry (014c) for the FX 550 is incorrect I've sumbitted 
the correct ID (014d)
