Re: Bug#262183: xserver-xfree86: [s3] can't find PCI card on Alpha [regression from 4.2.1]

[Jim Crilly <jim@why.dont.jablowme.net>]

This is just a guess, but I believe the ignore message is from the 
hotplug scripts and shouldn't break X. If you look in 
/etc/default/hotplug you'll see an entry like

IGNORE_PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY=true

which just tells hotplug not to load any DRI kernel modules for pci 
display devices. So as long as X is configured properly 2D should work 
fine, but 3D most likely won't.
