openchrome and native Xorg

Hello,

Now that NetBSD natively ships with Xorg, I can't compile x11/xf86-video-openchrome anymore.

Is openchrome going to replace src/external/mit/xorg/server/drivers/xf86-video-via ?

TIA,
    Jo

this happened with xorg-server 1.6.  with the 1.4* shipped with
netbsd 5.0, you could use via.

this should be happening sometime very soon.

Hello,

I've manually compiled openchrome 0.2.904 on 5.99.21. It compiles and runs (quite) fine.
The only issue is that my TV-out output is scrambled.
Full logs are here (if anyone cares ;) : http://atherios.free.fr/OC/

My real problem is that I thought I would go back to 5.0_STABLE and the via(4) driver but it doesn't seem to be compiled anymore... I checked the xserver package from "NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/200911020000Z/i386" and there is neither via nor openchrome driver... It seems to exists in 5.0.1 release though.

Is this a known issue|feature ?
Shouldn't I be using 5.0_STABLE rather than 5.0.1 ?
The thing is I run all my xen domU in 5.0_STABLE and have a compile domU that provides binary packages update for all those NetBSD box. Using 5.0.1 on my VIA box would require another domU to provide the binary packages than I compile from WIP.

Where would I find an "official" state and directions for via(4)/openchrome(4)/unichrome drivers ?

TIA,
  Jo

the via driver is no longer available.  it has not been updated
for newer xorg-server interfaces.  openchrome is supposed to
be replacing it.  if there are bugs in eg, TV out you should
talk directly to the xorg folks about it.

netbsd 5.0* releases will remain with the via driver, but 5.1*
will not ship with it.


if you really need via, you could try porting the older netbsd
5.0 sources to xorg-server 1.6 interfaces, but i'm not overly
familiar with what has changed.
