Hi!
I have an averatec av3270 notebook with S3 Unichrome PRO graphics(K8M800)
I changed my xorg.conf with "via" driver, enabling dri, glx and EnableAGPDMA option. But when I run Xorg., it takes several seconds to show something....
When the window manager loads (any window manager) the performance to moving and dragging windows is poor, acessing menus is slow...
I install the gnome 2.14 and the performance is poor, but the performance with gnome installed in my PC with nvidia FX5200 graphics is very superior, gnome is blazing here. Well, I admit this comparison is not so good because nvidia's hardware and my HD with 7200rpm (hd's notebook spins at 4200rpm) makes the difference, but I think that the via graphics could be a little faster...
I run hdparm on the notebook and the results are fine: 30Mb/s...
Someone can help me??
Thanks!

The problem is with the VIA driver, maybe you should check the this two projects:

Thank you!
I already tried use the xf86-video-unichrome driver and something strange happens: when I run Xorg the screen brightes as two comets with brown and purple colors like some presentation and after this the screen becomes black. Then I have to press ctrl+shift+backspace to back to console screen....
I will check the openchrome website.
Do not exist any packages about openchrome project in the archlinux repositories?
Thanks again!
