I had one of this Via cards, different than yours, it was a KM400, but |
| 2 |
they're all Unychrome family (still have it onboard, only disabled), |
| 3 |
and it was a hell of a time getting it to work, in fact, I had to get |
| 4 |
an unstable Xorg, compile some stuff myself and getting a new opengl |
| 5 |
driver to copy over the old one. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Of course, now things are better, the Xorg version now unmasked if I'm |
| 8 |
not mistaken offers support for this card, and you should have less |
| 9 |
problems making it work, I can tell you it works, it has direct |
| 10 |
rendering and I was able to configure it with some work and lots of |
| 11 |
search (specially hard because I only had this machine and all search |
| 12 |
was done using links in text mode). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Sincerely, on of the best things I've done was getting my NVidia video |
| 15 |
card, and NForce chipset is way better than VIA, but that's IMHO, |
| 16 |
invest more money and get a better mobo. |
