It is usually a good idea to add stuff to an existing distro (like
Debian or Ubuntu) rather than creating a new one.
Xorg is pretty good at autoconfiguring video cards these days, so your
idea should not be nessecary. The parts that are needed are probably
already done by Ubuntu, so you could just use Ubuntu.
The xserver-xorg-video-all package in Debian should pull in all
available video drivers.
