Default Via Linux Drivers

Has anyone tested Via's Linux drivers on your Via-chipset based motherboards?

I'm curious to how good their drivers are because I have an S3 Unichrome IGP and I'm planning on installing Fedora Core 4 on it in the distant future.

We have been trying to work with VIA on delivering some Linux figures shortly, though so far we have yet to see any boards arrive.

Thanks for the response, Michael. Did VIA actually agree to assist you with those Linux figures? Because that would be swell!!!

Would you accept 3rd party evaluations of the stuff? I happen to have several EPIA boards as well as ATI, NVidia, and soon Intel based setups.
