    Isn't it better to just use xf86-video-modesetting instead?

      First they would need a working KMS/DRM driver to use xf86-video-modesetting.

      They also can't use GLAMOR until having a working 3D driver.

        As we say in Brazil "o buraco é mais embaixo", literally translated as "the hole is deeper", meaning that a problem is more complex as it seems

              That's a rather weird statement as it assumes that VIA is still alive. Even AMD is a zombie today, VIA is long dead.
