@@ -27,21 +27,21 @@ Support for old GX1 Geodes by Cyrix and NSC will be reintroduced soon,
at which point xf86-video-cyrix and xf86-video-nsc will be retired.
Until then, the current situation for Geode coverage is as follow:
xf86-video-geode
* Geode LX (a.k.a. GX3) PCI ID 0x1022:0x2081
* Geode GX (a.k.a. GX2) PCI ID 0x100B:0x0030 (re-branded GX2)

Please note that both NSC and GEODE support GX2. This is indeed correct.
However, only GEODE has up-to-date code, while NSC is deprecated.
