You might find this useful, if you've not looked at it already:
http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/

 From the website:
"The Unichrome Project provides open source support for the VIA/S3G 
unichrome graphics controller. These controllers are found in the VIA 
Technologies CLE266, KM400/KN400, K8M800 and PM800/CN400 northbridges."

According to the site there are X/X.org drivers, XvMC (MPEG2 decoding) 
and dri (as part of std dri distribution).

I've been thinking of using an epia M1k with a PVR-250/350 card and 
mythtv, so I've been following these kinds of things :) [well, that or 
I'll end up buying a vcr ;)]
