Comment(by rudolfc):
Actually, I did write the VIA driver in Haiku svn. I think I never
finished it for acceleration though.
I had a VIA Nimble V5 from Yellowtab for building and testing the driver.
This had a CLE66 chipset (unichrome) which worked OK with the driver. In
the beginning I added recognition for K8M800 Unichrome Pro and P4M800 Pro
(VT3344) because I thought they would work the same as far as my driver
was concerned.
Since I got some negative reports from users I disabled the P4M800
support, and I doublt the K8M800 support is OK. I never got my hands on
these respective chipsets so I could not correct the problems.
In the end I stopped development and some time later Axel and I started
mailing about the Nimble. I then donated this Nimble to Axel, so he has
indeed some hardware ;-)
Bye!
Rudolf.
