.SH DESCRIPTION
.B via
is an XFree86 driver for VIA video chipsets.
.PP
The
.B via
driver supports the VIA CLE266 (CLE3122, CLE3022) chipset video and the
VIA KM400/K8M800 VT3204/5/7204/5 video, including 2D acceleration and the Xv 
video overlay extensions. Flat panel, TV and VGA outputs are supported.
.PP
Direct rendering 3D is available for this device only using XFree86 4.2 
builds. If you are interested in porting the DRI support to current XFree86
then please see the DRI project on sourceforge.net.
