Usually it's because they (wrongly) think it will protect their

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

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.
