That's not a PCI ID, but a textual description of a video card.
PCI ID is 2 32bit hex numbers of the form VENDOR:DEVICE

lspci -vn

It's the numerical value that matters from a programmatical
standpoint.  If it turns out 2 people have the same device
ID, but one has no cursor, and the other works fine, that would
be useful information to add to the X.Org bug reprot for the
driver maintainer though.
