[Linux-fbdev-users] where does viafb go?

[Marc B. <mar...@ar...>]

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
