In the case of the intel_extreme driver, it compares the PCI
vendor/device IDs to a known list of "predicted working"
configurations:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/graphics/intel_extreme/driver.cpp#L40
The driver may work (or may have worked at one point) for some
configurations, but not all...
I have problems with the driver not working with some of the chips on
that list as well, but it works with other variants of the same chip -
making it difficult to decide what truly does/doesn't work.
