== New Card system detect ==
 
  
The old card detection mechanism is need only for proprietary blobs (with modern X-server and udev). Other cards are automatically detected with kernel/udev, so XFdrake is not needed (monitor is detected automatically too). We need to rework this code.
 
 
Also we need to simplify ''merge2pcitable'' script, drop obsolete code.
 
 
# Recreate pcilist, drop all '''Card: xxxxx''' part
 
# Use names like '''vesa/fglrx''', '''ati/fglrx''' or '''nvidia-long-lived''' for drivers (may be '''ATI/AMD free/proprietary (ati/fglrx)''' and '''NVIDIA free/proprietary (nouveau/nvidia-long-lived)''')
 
 
== Simplify and Rework ==
 
# In '''merge2pcitable''' leave:
 
## ATI/AMD hack and cvs/legacy/current ATI/AMD card detect
 
## NVIDIA hack and detect
 
## KMS module hack and detect (alias)
 
## pciids
 
# See needing Suse (hwinfo) and RH (rhxxx) part
 
# Automate creation of pcitable and usbtable by downloading latest version of hardware drivers
 
# Reflect this change in the dralx-kbd-mouse-x11 package
