The problem you have is that it's probably a single card, or a single
variant of a single card in a specific combination that's failing. You
can do all the testing you like in rawhide but the chances are some of
those will always get through.

Keeping the regression count down is a bit different from catching every
single corner case - and there is so much PC hardware out there you just
can't do the latter.
