This is the driver named "via" for VIA EPIA onboard video 
chipsets.  Fedora Core 1 had an earlier version of this driver in 
it already, however the new version is one that Alan Cox has been 
working on, which has DRI support.  The 4.3.0-56 build however is 
missing the DRI 3D module due to a typo I made in the spec file.  

XFree86-4.3.0-57 should fix that, however our buildsystem is 
undergoing a massive rebuild of the entire OS right now and all 
buildmachines are unavailable to me, so unfortunately people will 
have to wait a few days now probably.  ;o(
