Hi,
recently viafb was added to linux 2.6.28. While it allows to use VIA's
graphic cards directly via framebuffer, it does not support all hardware
features (e.g. the mpeg-2 decoder or mpeg-4 accelerator).
My question is: does anyone here now about future development of the
driver to support these features? As far as I know VIA will not publish
any code about this, because of possibly license problems [1].
Thanks for any info in advance.
Marc
