VIA have moved away from their traditional support for the OpenChrome driver project to release their own 2D driver for the Chrome 9 series.
"The new xf86-video-via driver includes the kernel DRM source-code with the package too. VIA is actually shipping with six separate copies of the DRM source-code. There is separate Direct Rendering Manager code to support the CN700/CX700M/VX700 and CN896/VX800/VX820 ASICs. Additionally, there is separate DRM folders for the Linux 2.6.24, 2.6.27, and 2.6.28 kernels."-Phoronix.
Let's hope they also work at getting it put into the mainline kernel.
