Has anybody found one of these such that they have personal experience of it working? I've tried to install the official VIA one; the installer aborts and tells me I need to "Please install Xfree86-libs RPM package first."
I also tried the latest (at the time of posting) "OpenChrome" release. It claims to have installed, but when I set my xorg.conf to use the "via" driver it falls over and tells me "(EE) No screens found."
I'm running SuSE 10.2 i386 on an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ with 1GB of RAM; the video card is the onboard chip supplied with my Shuttle xPC case.
Helllllllp!

Ah, TiT, but the "Generic" (Framebuffer) driver is what I'm using now. It's unbelievably slow - when the screen scrolls you can see every line redrawing. 
I need a driver that at least enables the 2D acceleration, if not the 3D and MPEG too.
