VIA released open-source X.org driver

VIA released the open-source X.org driver-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. VIA has released the open-source X.org driver on linux.via.com.tw Portal. The 83 driver has just been released by Branch and is the latest version. Currently, two-dimensional drivers are released without hardware decoding and TV encoding. However, it is estimated that the three-dimensional drivers will soon be released.

The current version cannot be compiled successfully on Fedora 9 or Ubuntu 8.10. Because xf86_ansic.h has been canceled since Xserver was upgraded from version 1.4 to version 1.5. Therefore, an error cannot be found in this header file during compilation. Originally, I was responsible for solving this problem, but because I took over the driver development, I had to embark on a Windows journey. Now my colleagues are solving this problem and I believe it will be solved soon. However, it is unknown when it will be published.

We hope to integrate the power of Openchrome by gradually releasing code to provide users with better drivers and reduce the trouble of maintaining binary drivers for various releases. Of course, there is still a long way to go. After all, for a company, losing control of code is still a very worrying thing.

But I am confident that everyone will gradually realize the advantages of the Code public sector. This is a new mode of possession and use of production materials, and productivity chooses this production relationship.
