Thanks, I appreciate the effort. Call me a fool, but I am designing Open Slate to work independently of Windows. The lack of other positive replies suggests nobody has a native driver, so on to the next question: VIA has Linux source available. Assuming the license is tenable and the code is functional, how hard would it be to convert it to FreeBSD format? Assume an experienced C programmer with zero experience writing drivers. I'm thinking, grab the source for a similar driver, one that works well, and divine how to match the backside with the frontside. There's still time to call me a fool.
