I just fixed this on my A7V8X-MX last night. You can get a set of updated VIA
video drivers for FC1 at Alan Cox's site http://people.redhat.com/alan/. You
take his via_dri.so and via_drv.o files and insert them in the "obvious" places.
Works fine for me, but I don't run games. You set up XF86Config to use the
"via" driver.
