Afaik it is already possible to distinguish systems by their video card and used driver within the hal whitelist. But it case there are several video cards installed, it is not possible to apply differents quirks to different video cards. But this is also a limitation of some quirks, e.g. <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_322:info.linux.driver" string="nvidia"> is recognized on my desktop that uses an nvidia video card with the binary driver. In general, it should be possible to match agains anything that is stored in hal, I used lshal to find out what I can use to match agains my video card. Regards, Till
