You mean that tiny one which talks about GUEUEs and such?

I hope you're being ironic with the 'tiny' :-), because the patch that
came from VIA was humongous.

Well, my estimate for a full featured fb driver for this hardware would 
be around 10kloc/300kB source.

Who plans on cleaning that one up? Who is prepared to see VIA just 
plough on regardless after that, just like VIA did with the X driver?

Yep, just looking at that patch, it will be a difficult one to clean up.

It takes a special kind of idiot to take something like that on and 
keep it up too.
