xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 0.2.6+svn357-0ubuntu3 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu gutsy
OpenChrome is a project for the development of free and open-source software
for the VIA UniChrome video chipsets.
.
Originally called the 'snapshot' release, since it was a snapshot of an
experimental branch of the unichrome cvs code, this is a continued development
of the open source unichrome driver (from <URL:http://
also incorporates support for the unichrome-pro chipsets.
.
Support for hardware acceleration (XvMC) for all chipsets has subsequently
been ripped out of the unichrome.sf.net driver. Therefore your only option if
you wish to make use of the acceleration features of your VIA chip with free
and open-source drivers is to use this version of the driver.
.
This driver is originally shipped to be loaded as 'via' on xorg.conf, but this
package renames it to 'openchrome', so it doesn't conflicts with the other VIA
driver already available on Ubuntu.
