If you just want a VIA EPIA with working 3D support then the newer chipset (VIA CLE266) DRI is very close to working and you might want to just upgrade hardware and join that effort ? Just out of curiousity: Is there any support for the VIA CN400 (ongoing/planned)? The VIA CN400 contains the Unichrome Pro "Group A" which, 3D-wise, should be compatible with the Unichrome, so once the DDX sets up the chip correctly, 3D should work right out of the box (at least as good as for the Unichrome). The DDX doesn't support the Unichrome Pro fully yet because of lack of HW samples. Specifically lacking is dotclock setup, 2D accel in some cases, Xv and XvMC. Since all developers at unichrome.sf.net are unpaid freetimers, that support is probably not going to happen until VIA or another commercial user donates a board or two. /Thomas   Best regards Peter K
