Currently, it sucks.  The "hardware acceleration" does not seem to
work.  I get the exact same framerate with glxgears regardless of
whether the via.o kernel module is installed:

408 frames in 7.0 seconds = 58.286 FPS
264 frames in 5.0 seconds = 52.800 FPS
264 frames in 5.0 seconds = 52.800 FPS
264 frames in 5.0 seconds = 52.800 FPS

The DRI is definitely enabled, I can see it in the logs.

This is on an EPIA M-6000.

I have been meaning to report this as a bug but have not had the
bandwidth.  I would imagine this is related to why the via DRI module is
still not in the mainstream kernel, but has to be installed from xorg
CVS.
