This makes a lot of sense - no point in listing it in the quirks table
if it doesn't have quirks!

I haven't tested the DVI or HDMI yet because I don't have a cable, so
I'm still using VGA. :-(

As a user, I would appreciate the non-quirks table; it doesn't add any
actual functionality and would add some bloat, but looking through the
xorg.log file and seeing that your card has been recognised would give
me some reassurance that someone somewhere has given the card a go and
so it's likely to work. I do appreciate this would be low priority
work though.

Thanks for your feedback, sorry for the delay in answering and keep up
the good work. :-)

Thanks,

Tim
