Hello,

Will Fedora have offical support for graphics cards VIA KM400 VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] on its kernel?

I have search on intenet and found some news about drivers for this hardware. They require to apply a patch (http://epia.kalf.org) on the kernel and try to install some drivers (http://www.viaarena.com/?pageID=325) provided by the vendor, but there is no patch to the current Fedora's Kernel and the drivers are build for XFree, not for Xorg. A question: drivers for XFree works with Xorg?

If Fedora will not support this hardware, someone knows a way for using the resources of that card on Fedora?

I have Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3.

Thanks a lot.

Eustáchio
