Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier :) Well, the first case: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action This was in bzip format, so i extracted it successfully and installed it. It *claimed* that the installation was successful. But, when I tried booting up the computer hangs. So i dropped to a shell during boot and then when I said "startx", it gave me an error saying "Error loading module 'viavideo' (No such file or directory)". So I just removed the xorg.conf file and now its the same openchrome driver which I am using. The second case : http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp This was also in bzip format. It contains the source and it only provides 2D graphics, which is already supported with openchrome. Anyway, one of the threads in ubuntu forums pointed me to try out mesa 3D graphics driver. I will try it out and let you know. -- Cheers, Hrishikesh Murali _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
