Apparently it has been done...as I understand it, the unichrome drivers
have been included into the xorg tree..
Some more information at http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia
The owner of the site was involved in the process somehow.
I do know that I had to install and compile the xorg source and then
compile the unichrome DRM modules and xvmc drivers and install the dri
module in Fedora 2.6.11... but I did not have to do so when I upgraded
to 2.6.13.4...
