This is official driver from VIA, originally for SuSE 10.1.
It works on my laptop (BENQ Joybook R41E) and VIA pc-1 motherboard.
The GPU of my laptop is:
vgapci0 at pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x86241071 chip=0x33431106 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
device = 'VIA/S3G UniChromePro IGP'
class = display
subclass = VGA
OpenChrome doesn't work with it (chip's PID = 0x3343) at all.
It supports features as well as OpenChrome:
* XVideo
* Rotation
* Dual Display
- Mono display on only either LCD or VGA only
- DuoView (The same scene on both LCD and VGA simultaneously)
I failed to get SAMM (different scenes on LCD and VGA).
I believe it is useful for people who is using laptop with VIA chipset.
And I hope it can be put into port tree before it is out of date.
Any FreeBSD committee can help me?
