I don't like this table, it's inaccurate (xf86-video-ati is not only for old ATi GPUs) and incomplete (we have a lot more drivers than that)

Do you think we should try to document all of them instead? Or perhaps find some upstream docs with all of those drivers which we can link to.

Indeed, the table is not very useful. I wouldn't list everything, I'd just say that the DDX are provided by the xf86-video-* packages. The only non-obvious choice is xf86-video-ati vs xf86-video-amdgpu, which would be better documented on a future AMD subsection of Graphics Drivers.
