Via have, some time ago, released a drm module which seems quite clean and a dri / OpenGL implementation which Alan Cox fixed up some time ago and which is downloadable from your site. I don't think it has been ported to be compatible with dri CVS though.
The thing with the drm module seems to be another story. A lot of people are patching their kernels with Via's source and are using it together with Via's precompiled via_dri.so.
Also there is an ongoing project, (unichrome at sourceforge) the goal of which is to develop and try to fix up the via X drivers, and submit relevant patches to the proper code maintainers. Currently we are focusing on the via XFree86 driver, and an XvMC extension for the HW Mpeg2 decoder (Which uses DRI / DRM for register / memory mapping and resource locking). But some small changes have been made also to the Via drm driver (Wait on vblank support).
At this point it would be very nice to have the via drm module in dri CVS, so that it could eventually be included in the kernel. While the via_dri.so OpenGL driver might not be there yet, the drm module might be.
Please advice on how to proceed and what is needed to make this happen.
Best regards Thomas Hellström
