<DIV>You'd be better off posting this question in the Linux Forum at viaarena. The clexf bundles only work under the specific distributions, as seen in the directories of the bundle. Yes, they do say not kernel specific but that's not true. </DIV>
<DIV>My understanding is kernel 2.4.23 with the epia patch (find information in the linux forum) and also look at <A href="http://www.ivor.it/cle266">www.ivor.it/cle266</A> page. I don't believe 2.6 is supported, either by Via or by the open source drivers. </DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I am trying to run MythTV on a VIA EPIA M10000 Nehemiah under a 2.6.0<BR>kernel. Is it possible to use the via XFree86 driver under the 2.6<BR>series of kernels? I can get the vesa XFree86 driver working <BR>and it correctly recognizes the size of the frame buffer (64MB) and the<BR>characteristics of the monitor that allow it to run at a VESA mode of<BR>1280x1024@75Hz. <BR><BR>I have tried to install the via driver from the CLEXF40038 bundle on<BR>viarena.com but it seems to want to have a couple of kernel modules<BR>via.o and via_v4l_drv.o installed.
