This is unfortunate as there are already quirks (eg.
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/21-video-quirk-nvidia.fdi).
Something *like*:

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.vendor" int="0x10de">
       <merge key="video.x11_driver" type="string">nvidia</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

would do the trick and seems a nice and clean solution.
