All I see there is Linux kernel fbdev sources - not X11 sources.
We plan to switch our X.Org driver from the current xf86-video-via
to xf86-video-openchrome in the future, but we have no plans to ship
any via driver that's not produced in cooperation with the X.Org
community.
VIA hardware is too rare and little used for Sun to have much interest
in assigning people to port drivers ourselves - if someone else wanted
to do so and integrate it, I don't see why we'd refuse. We're just
concentrating our X driver efforts on the 3 vendors that cover 98% of
the x86 graphics market - nvidia, ati, and intel.
