I think you left an unresolved CVS conflict at the version numbers.
Also had a guy at the unichrome lists that reported a kernel panic within
the via modules on a 2.4.20 kernel. I have checked on 2.6.3, and it seems
OK. Have you checked 2.4?

BTW, Do you think it will be safe from a security point of view to let dri
