None at all, although please work with the unichrome.sf.net people on it
so X gets one sane working DRI merge for VIA 8). Also just to point out
VIA's own developers wrote most of the DRI code for that chip, including
some core mesa changes which made it hard ot integrate (I guess they took
their job seriously). I just cleaned it up for XFree 4.x and helped with
some debugging work.
