I did some testing on the new via XFree86 driver, and it

Wonderful!
For DRI I just patched 2.6.2-1.81 with
http://epia.kalf.org/gryle_patches/via-v4l-1.4a-drm.patch.gz
(with use of floating point in ddmpeg.c fixed, there are two uses of *1.5 in
the code, which were trivially fixed :-). With
http://www.uk.linux.org/~alan/via_dri.so that was enough to make glx and
tuxracer work (colors were somewhat off in the latter, tho...)
Good to hear.
Will bugzilla once -57 (and the devel kernel with via dri
support the existance of which was suggested a while back, but
which is nowhere to be found), that hopefully should make the
dust settle enough to a bug report to be useful at all :-)
-57 is now ready, and includes the via_dri.so module properly.
Please test the 4.3.0-57 package out using the included via_drv.o
2D driver, via_dri.so 3D driver, and ensuring you're not using
3rd party bits, so the testing is clean.
Thanks for testing,
TTYL
