Well... it's a hack which we already kind of do, and won't need to carry forward into 2.5. There's a fake PCI device per IOC, so maybe this could be filled in by a gfx card. In 2.5, we'll have driverfs and hopefully X won't have to tell the difference. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
