For some reason that package doesn't give me a via.ko driver for video,
unless the video driver has a different name.
The 2D driver is openchrome_drv.so,
the 3D driver is unichrome_dri.so
and the DRM kernel module is via.ko. Not sure how it could be made more
confusing actually :-)
Via.com only has a driver for FC7 and it won't install on FC9 ,
because
of wrong kernel
Do you mean you actually managed to install the VIA provided driver on
anything ? Congrats ;-)
I have the package xorg-x11-drv-openchrome package installed.
Then make sure you use 'openchrome' as driver in your xorg.conf.
