True.
The new VIA ARM tablets aside I don't know anything non-x86 from VIA.
And even if there exists anything non-x86 that includes these IGPs I 
really doubt that the driver is close to supporting it. Hell I do even 
wonder whether it works well on 64 bit but unless there are bug reports 
that's nothing I worry about.
