Source code that enables Linux natively to use the framebuffer on VIA's
graphics chipsets. This comes a month after VIA announced that it will
provide Open-Source drivers and documentation on its Web site so that
its hardware will work out of the box with Linux distributions. This
gives VIA-powered systems that come pre-installed with Linux — such as
the gPC, 15.4" gBook, CloudBook, and Zonbu — the ability to output
graphics through digital connections such as HDMI, and probably makes
them the best-supported framebuffers Linux has ever had. Look forward
to documentation and X.org drivers from VIA as well in the near future."<br><br><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/1736250&from=rss">http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/11/1736250&from=rss</a><br>
