What is the output of "file <filename_of_your_driver_file>"? It could
be corrupted if indeed the file extension is .tgz.

First of all, thanks. Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier :)
Well, the first case:
http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action
This was in bzip format, so i extracted it successfully and installed it. It
*claimed* that the installation was successful.
But, when I tried booting up the computer hangs. So i dropped to a shell
during boot and then when I said "startx", it gave me an error saying "Error
loading module 'viavideo' (No such file or directory)". So I just removed
the xorg.conf file and now its the same openchrome driver which I am using.
The second case :
http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp
This was also in bzip format. It contains the source and it only provides 2D
graphics, which is already supported with openchrome.
Anyway, one of the threads in ubuntu forums pointed me to try out mesa 3D
graphics driver. I will try it out and let you know.
