Ah yes.  The video with faux opens source support from VIA.  They
claim open source support but don't actually deliver -- some
binary-only parts.  And odd licensing of what the do deliver.

The true open source driver project looks a bit understaffed.  I don't
know if that has caused any actual problems.  They appear to be quite
annoyed at Via about via's opens source initiative.

More of the Linux video nightmare.
