not too sure about that!!! http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=via_bluff&num=1 http://linux.via.com.tw/ - the damned bastards released nothing but binary drivers. And not even theirs at that!! (look at the filename - "via-unichrome".... This is a vendor, pretending to be offer open source support - but only pointing to/pushing u back to the reverse engineering efforts which are in need of the *real* support from VIA in the first place!!!). -jf -- In the meantime, here is your PSA: "It's so hard to write a graphics driver that open-sourcing it would not help." -- Andrew Fear, Software Product Manager, NVIDIA Corporation http://kerneltrap.org/node/7228
