I never said that it should just "match NVIDIA as a vendor". I said that "nv.ids" should explicitely have, or match with whildcards/bitmasks, PCI-IDs of all hardware -nv *supports*, nothing more, nothing less, and that's not an upstream problem. "nv.ids" is not generated by upstream. So the problem are the cards with PCI-IDs 02Ex (02E0, 02E1, 02E2, 02E3 and 02E4, to be exact) and 00Fx (where x is 1-F) because of the way "nv.ids" is generated at the moment. While generating "nv.ids", the piece of code I put up there was not taken into consideration, so "nv.ids" is missing some PCI-IDs of card that are properly supported by -nv.

It's not realy a big problem, it's only autodetection that's not working. I, myself, have no problem with that. I know how to fix the problem, but that's not the case for everybody.
