DRM VIA driver on Unichrome Pro K8M800

DRM VIA driver on Unichrome Pro K8M800

[Joris van Rantwijk]

Hello David,

I noticed you guided the VIA DRM driver into linux-2.6.13-rc3. Are you
the right person to send questions/problems/patches about this driver?

I am trying to get it to run on my Unichrome Pro K8M800 chipset and
it finally seems to be working (a bit) now.

Thanks,
  Joris van Rantwijk.

FWIW, this is working great with my CLE266 chipset.

Well the best place is probably dri-devel@lists.sf.net where the driver
developers mainly hang out.. I'm mainly doing the donkey work of getting
things from the developers there to the kernel in some semi-organised
fashion.

Actually I take this back.  The xscreensaver demos all work but I tried
ppracer and the course looks OK but Tux is invisible.

that's a secret feature to get him past closed source drivers ;-)

on the other hand I've no idea what might be wrong.. but my guess would be
the userspace Mesa driver not the DRM.... ask on dri-devel or logs a bug
on bugs.freedesktop.org
