Bug#583501: RFA: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- display driver for VIA Unichrome video chipsets
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-debbugs-cc: debian-x@lists.debian.org, debian-devel@lists.debian.org
Hi,
I no longer have time and working hardware to maintain and test the package.
I'm therefore looking for somebody who wants to adopt it.
Anyone willing to maintain it please contact the Debian X Strike Force
(debian-x@lists.d.o).
Some info about the package:
Description: X.Org X server -- VIA display driver
OpenChrome is a project for the development of free and open-source drivers
for the VIA UniChrome video chipsets.
.
Originally called the 'snapshot' release, since it was a snapshot of an
experimental branch of the unichrome cvs code, this is a continued
development
of the open source unichrome driver (from http://unichrome.sf.net) which
also incorporates support for the unichrome-pro chipsets.
.
Support for hardware acceleration (XvMC) for all chipsets has subsequently
been ripped out of the unichrome.sf.net driver. Therefore your only option if
you wish to make use of the acceleration features of your VIA chip with free
and open-source drivers is to use this version of the driver.

openchrome.git
Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-
openchrome
I'm going to make one, hopefully last, upload to reflect some changes to the
xorg packages build system.
Cheers,
