[quote]VIA recently released their binary driver for their integrated
graphics for linux. To install it:

1. I downloaded the driver from [URL]http://www.viaarena.com/
default.aspx?PageID=2&Type=3[/URL].
2. Choose your distro.
3. Then pick Integrated Graphics.
4. Pick the appropriate driver category. If you are not sure which
one, check this site [URL]http://www.viaarena.com/
default.aspx...ticleID=68&P=5[/URL].
5. Click on "Click here to begin free download." Save it.
6. Unzip the file.
7. Make a backup of your xorg.conf.
8. CD to the directory where you unzipped the file to.
9. Execute the *.run file. example "sudo sh VIA_U710_UniChrome-GFX-
v40072d.run"
10. Ctrl-Alt-Bckspce
[/quote]now i did the above mentined procedure but, i have three
problems:-
1) weird errors like "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support

2) my system freezes randomly,i even can't play a movie:(
3) corrupted textures even in 2d applications

My Xorg.log.0 file: http://pastebin.com/f40e10d1d


Is there anyone who tried the new driver, did this driver work for
anyone.
ATM i am using the binary driver, as VIA gives the source too, so will
compiling from source make a diffrence?

is there anyway i can make it work?
