I just fixed this on my A7V8X-MX last night. You can get a set of updated VIA video drivers for FC1 at Alan Cox's site http://people.redhat.com/alan/. You take his via_dri.so and via_drv.o files and insert them in the "obvious" places. Works fine for me, but I don't run games. You set up XF86Config to use the "via" driver.

Hi,
I have built a budget system based on the Asus A7V8X motherboard to try out Fedora Core 1 as a desktop replacement.
The only problem I have had is with the Via UniChrome KM400 integrated graphics which does not seem to be supported. Normal displays are fine using a generic VESA driver, but in games (such as Tux Racer or flightgear) it falls over.
Someone on the Via forum has had a go at trying to adapt RH9 drivers but has failed.

Does anyone here have a solution. Buying a graphics card defeats the object of building what is otherwise a very cheap system, but may be the only option?
