Interesting web page. I have the 6326 and have had no problems with X4.1,
but it looks like this guy has an updated version of the driver available.

As a matter of interest, where do people source linux-compatable hardware
from these days? And is there a good website which has reviews of this?

I notice that VIA's KM266 chipset (on a number of newish motherboards) has
onboard video/sound/lan, but the video only works in frame-buffer mode, the
sound has problems, the LAN is OK, but the IDE interface won't work at
DMA133 unless you patch the kernel. Via have fixes for this on a website
(viaarena.com), but some of it is binary only, and therefore is
distro/kernel specific and won't end up in the newer kernel/X11 sources.
