It's the newer chipsets that are the real problem - especially in regard
to the graphics support. VIA have shown no real interest in this respect
to Linux users. Somewhat surprising considering their drive to market
their products in countries like Brazil. The Openchrome project is doing
sterling work but progress is frustratingly slow. Fully working and
stable video drivers for Linux are still a very long way away. :(
In general, I would have to say, if you run Linux, stay away from VIA.
Be lucky,
Neil
