correct driver for X

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I found the following page for the k8m800 motherboard.
Everything I have found from via is sub par to say the least.
It has a via_drv.o file that "seems" to do something. (cant see as I'm 
home).

hope this helps someone else...

VIA's support for their Unichrome chipsets on Linux is a little lacking. 
I got a system with one of these. It even had Linspire preinstalled, and 
running in vesa mode.
There's a project for this, but from reading their site it looks they 
don't have the Unichrome Pro working well yet.
http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/

You might try buying one in this case. Even most of the cheapest should 
give a significant improvement, provided that they have 3d support and 
working Linux drivers.
