I can only include support for these, not the drivers themselves.
Including the drivers would require building additional packages.
Of course I could do that, I suppose. I mean, the docs are pretty
straightforward on this:
[...]
To use it, you first have to compile mga_vid.o:

    cd drivers
    make

Then create /dev/mga_vid device:

    mknod /dev/mga_vid c 178 0

and load the driver with

    insmod mga_vid.o
[...]
But doesn't it depend on kernel version?
