Hi, IMHO, it is quite sad that they're paying an employee to get the code merged and the person is apparently being ignored. The lack of time by the maintainer certainly doesn't help Linux out on hardware support... As I understand it, the only use for that particular DRM code is

Hi, Also it seems to be a patch against the unichrome DRM driver, whereas a separate DRM driver is needed for the Chrome9 hardware on the VX855. Here's the submitted chrome9 DRM, and discussion:

Ok... my bad. I'm all for the GPL'd driver but if they could provide a working driver in the mean time, the better. The best Linux 3D driver out there is Nvidia's one, which is a blob but works. Intel has been putting some efforts into the open source driver but it is nothing more than a disaster

Actually it's a problem with the openchrome driver as it does not provide 3D acceleration or Xvideo support for the VIA VX855 chip.Although it is possible to implement it but, need knowledge of the driver programming. 2009/11/27 Bert Freudenberg b...@freudenbergs.de: On 26.11.2009, at 08:50

#6147: A graphics accelerator 3D graphics acceleration is something we provide in Gen 1.5, and intend on providing in future generations as well. I have difficulty with the intent behind closing #6147 as 'fixed'. For me, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. F11-on-XO-1.5 (build 46)
