Description:
It would be nice if the xorg-server PKGBUILD would set PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH to some path, to allow overriding the priorities by which xorg drivers are loaded. Per default for example if both nv and nvidia are available only nv is loaded. I the user wants to use nvidia drivers he has to create a xorg.conf. For a environment without such a config file it would be nice to be able to individually override drivers.

Additional info:
* xorg-server 1.6.1.901-1

Steps to reproduce:
install both nv and nvidia drivers.
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
start X
check the driver in use.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  We don't include any ids files in the drivers, and even Ubuntu and Debian, the distributions that introduced this feature before it was accepted upstream, don't use this anymore.
