M 9000 X11 update:
The "vga" driver works in low resolution modes. The "vesa" driver
does not work. Via has a linux driver on their CD for X, called "via",
which linux people seem to be using successfully, but I can't find
sources anywhere. I don't understand why these companies don't just
include sources for their X drivers, it would make life so much easier.
I *think* the EPIA M 9000 is using a variant of the S3 Savage, but if
so they have heavily modified the chip. I have had no luck trying to
override the chip spec in my X configuration.

Firewire update. I can't seemlessly connect and disconnect firewire
devices, but if I connect the firewire HD up *before* kldload'ing
the drivers, it works.
