The video chip is a Castle Rock with mpeg2 decoder.
The Linux driver of the epia-m is made of 2 piece, a kernel module and a
X module.
Both are only binary, and the installation is a pain because you can't
recompile the
kernel, you must use the original kernel.
For example you can't patch the kerne

Very nasty but I got X working with the via driver by dummying up libddmpeg
(which is supplied along with via_drv.o on the VIA EPIA M 9000 CD).
Basically I linked libddmpeg.a with a dummy program to pull in the required
symbols and generated a new .so which does not link against lib

I tried that. It got close. *very* close to running, but the via
driver has two dependancies on libddmpeg (which is also supplied on the
CD). Unfortunately libddmpeg depends on libc.so.6.
I can shim the two dependancies into via_drv.o but the via driver still
tries to load l

The disconnection and reconnnection seems to work for me using
dvd devices.

Indeed, that's how I
Hello, Matt,
with your copious free time and this new baby, what would you think of porting
over the ehci driver from NetBSD over to FreeBSD (this will enable USB2.0)
ISTR a call for help (must have been by Joe K.)

PS : I confess : this is a shameless plug to get USB2.0 working on
If the linux XFree86 4.x driver was correctly written you should be able
to dump it into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and use it.
One of the goals with XFree86 4.x was that the X server modules be OS
independent.

An additional note on the M 9000. I have not been able to get X11 to
run on it yet. It uses a chipset that X doesn't seem to understand
(beyond basic VGA modes).

Another EPIA M 9000 update. The built-in firewire works flawlessly under
FreeBSD 4.x (firewire.ko and sbp.ko modules). When I connect up a
firewire HD I get 30MB/s+ out of it. The same HD has a USB2.0 connector
