No. > (Why not?) Upstream doesn't provide a devd kldload ruleset for PCI devices, like they do for USB. IIRC, this is because usage of PCI support internal interaces in the driver codebase is less uniform than that of USB. For USB, they extract the USB ids using a parser, but currently they can't do the same thing for PCI (and they don't want to do this manually). It wouldn't be terribly difficult to fix this, but it's a boring task and so far nobody volunteered. If someone reading this is interested, please let me know ;-) Besides, when it comes to KMS drivers, is there a point in auto-loading them just because the hardware is present? AFAICS it makes a lot more sense to load them only when X is started and we know we will need them. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
