Poor thing!

John I am not going to join the list to post my grain of salt could you
please post the following on my behalf? (yes the bit between the
stars...)

Our questions as to what Luc was up to have been answered. This is his
way of saying fsck you and Merry Christmas to users and VIA alike I
guess.

Alan,

Thank you for your voice of reason (once more!). Your comments put this
miserable affaire (we unichrome users have been supporting it for too
long now) into a reasonable perspective. Fedora Core 4 was almost
perfect with respect to support of my Epia M10000 powered hush. It is
very reassuring to see the graphics chipset recognised and the correct
driver loaded.

X.org maintainers,

I am a vote for X.org adopting the openchrome version of the driver. It
supports more hardware and is of use to the end user, someone who has
been forgotten by the unichrome project. There are Fedora Core rpms that
make hardware acceleration a "yum update" option, with FC5 this will be
on out of the box. Gentoo and others also have builds. Xine and VDR
benefit from it as well as MythTV to a certain extent. 

Thank you for your time.

Tony Grant
