Well Ubuntu fooled me. :/ The VIA driver they use is the "official" one
from the vendor, that's why the VT3118 (CN400 which is present in EPIA
SP) is supported. The same driver is used in Fedora Core 5. 

In Ubuntu 6.10 you have the choice between VIA's driver or Unichrome.
Ubuntu has renamed the Unichrome driver from "via" to "unichrome", when
refering to it in the "xorg.conf" file. The "via" driver now has support
for VT3344 (CN700 which is present in EPIA EN). In time I will test this
for comparison.
