Hi

http://lwn.net/Articles/296221/

Harald Welte reports in a blog post that VIA has released an open source 
Xorg driver for their integrated graphics chips. "I am very happy to see 
this! It's one more step that VIA has been working on to improve and 
show their support for Free Software and Linux. Please notice that this 
driver (as opposed to VIA's proprietary binary-only Xorg driver) has no 
support for 3D, hardware video codec or TV encoder support. 
Nevertheless, it is a big step ahead."
