Yeah, I didn't find it obvious at first either...
It could make more sense with real examples - here's how I might envision it:
Acme Graphics Card 1 = Radeon HD 5xxx
Acme Graphics Card 2 = Radeon HD 6xxx
Acme Graphics Driver = radeon_hd
Acme Accelerant 1/2 = radeon_hd.accelerant (two instances?)
Haico Graphics Card 1 = Intel GMA3150 (integrated)
Haico Graphics Driver = intel_extreme
Haico Accelerant 1 = intel_extreme.accelerant
Don't forget that each card may have multiple ports/monitors attached
- so the infographic is still a bit sketchy - will there be one
accelerant instance per card, or one per port?
