VIA Opens Some Programming Manuals, Pushes to Better Graphics Drivers

by Kristin Shoemaker on Nov 23, 2008

VIA Technologies announced that it's moving forward with its commitment to open source software by collaborating with the openChrome Project to improve support for VIA integrated graphics chipsets.

VIA and openChrome have been focusing on multi-head support and improving the implementation of the RandR (resize and rotate) extension. The VIA framebuffer driver source has been checked into the 2.6.28 mainline kernel. Perhaps most significantly, VIA has opened the documentation for the VIA CX700M and VX800 chipsets.
