It's the newer chipsets that are the real problem - especially in regard |
| 8 |
to the graphics support. VIA have shown no real interest in this respect |
| 9 |
to Linux users. Somewhat surprising considering their drive to market |
| 10 |
their products in countries like Brazil. The Openchrome project is doing |
| 11 |
sterling work but progress is frustratingly slow. Fully working and |
| 12 |
stable video drivers for Linux are still a very long way away. :( |

In general, I would have to say, if you run Linux, stay away from VIA. |
