It doesn't really matter though, since upstream is moving away from having X load the driver, and I'd like us to follow suit by using devmatch (this is one of the reasons we wanted to get rid of the base drivers, as I've stated before). X can't always know which driver to load (when using modesetting for instance), and in my opinion, it should be the kernel/loader that decides which drivers to load. Regards -- Niclas Zeising
