Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
#Option "accel"
#Option "crt_screen"
#Option "composite_sync"
#Option "linear"
#Option "mmio_cache"
#Option "probe_clocks"
#Option "reference_clock"
#Option "shadow_fb"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Mach64 GV"
ChipSet "ati"
ChipId 0x4756

We found that the only lines that change were the following 4 lines:
BoardName "Mach64 GV"
