OpenChrome DRM Driver For Open-Source VIA Continues To See Some Activity In 2022

I remember having a VIA GPU and interacting with James Simmons via (no pun intended) the mailing list in his efforts to implement KMS.

Ah, James Simmons, remover of copyright statements. From where i sit, "his" kms code should not be remembered for much more than that.

it's a shame too that james simmons is not on this project anymore, i don't know what happened, he was very active though.

Only briefly. Iirc, only when OLPC was still a thing. And he ripped off a bunch of unichrome code, added kernel formatting and then replaced the copyright statement with his own.

and then replaced the copyright statement with his own.

I seem to recall this part was after Kevin Brace took over. At least the mail notifying of that. I may be misremembering tho.

Yup, i pointed it out then, but the offender was Simmons.
