As You have seen from my other message I have applied the patch.

But I wanted ask about something different.
As is known VIA has published improved driver(xfree or xorg) , with 
sources, and with support for 3D. Dated on December 2005 for Vn800 . I 
have it from viaarena.
It was already mentioned in this list recently. Have someone
included the extra information from this driver or plan to do it in the 
openchrome driver , which we all use/have since march/april 2006 and 
which I use.
Or perhaps it brings nothing new ?
Has someone tested it at all ?
