Matthieu Herrb (matthieu@) has just committed the new Xorg driver openchrome(4) to the Xenocara tree. This means that users tracking current must change from via to openchrome in their xorg.conf files.
Please read Matthieu's note below...
List: openbsd-misc Subject: HEADS UP: xf86-video-openchrome replaces xf86-video-via From: Matthieu HerrbDate: 2008-07-12 13:10:25 I've just committed the openchrome driver for via chipsets in Xenocara and enabled it by default in place of the old, obsolete, version of xf86-video-via that was there before. If you're using a VIA chipset with a configuration file, replace Driver "via" with Driver "openchrome" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the new driver after your next update. Thanks to bernd@ who evaluated the openchrome driver and made the few patches needed to get it to compile on OpenBSD. -- Matthieu Herrb

I just tested it on a Biostar iDeq 220K barebone and it works like a charm, with decent performance.
Thanks a million for bringing this in!
Is it also planned to import the Nouveau driver? Yes, it's still in very early stage, but 2D performance of the current NV driver is terrible.

It requires the nouveau drm module (yes, even for 2d. new X drivers do the sane thing and do all command submission that way). I've started on it, but it's non-trivial.
