Mel, This is a stupid response and demonstrates more about you than the chipset. Yes the via CLE266 chipset is underpowered, but the fact is the C3 processors they are found with are as well. Their application is low-end and low-power consumption tasks only. As well the tiny motherboards these chips are found on means that you might only have the space for one or even no PCI slots. There is no AGP slot on the EPIA-M!!!! So you don't usually want to waste that PCI slot with a graphic card (I have a Hauppauge PVR-250 in my one slot).
There is a via driver that Alan Houraine commited to XFree, so your comment about support is also clearly wrong. Now to answer the original question.... I'm also using a CVS version of the module from a while back. Can't remember off-hand from when, and I don't have this problem. However Sig 11 errors are usually pretty easy to find. Just recompile the via_drv.o module with "-g" flag and run the server under gdb from a remote console. Do a backtrace when it crashs and if it crashed in the via_drv.o module identify the exact line it crashed on. This should give all of the info needed to correct this problem....
