This is not helped by the fact that VIA vastly overstated its power consumption targets and its chips are prone to burn out. As the unichrome developer, you know, the guy who came up with structured display driver development now called "modesetting", i have collected a ton of VIA hw over the years (later 2000s), and theres quite a few which just burned out. I am not sure i wish to go through my vast collection and find out which of them are permanently bricked.
I also do not understand how one cannot go straight for atomic modesetting. Just like RandR1.2, KMS was a poor mans version of some hints of structured display driver development, and always had been.
