I think that in general Via have had a history of all promises and no
action when it comes to supporting open source. They just don't get
it. It'd be nice to think they have improved, but lets actually see an
open source driver for their hardware in a publicly accessible
cvs/svn/git repo coupled with via engineers actively taking part,
contributing code, fixing bugs, answering questions and generally
getting "with the programme" before we start popping the champagne
corks.
