    Very nasty but I got X working with the via driver by dummying up libddmpeg
    (which is supplied along with via_drv.o on the VIA EPIA M 9000 CD).
    Basically I linked libddmpeg.a with a dummy program to pull in the required
    symbols and generated a new .so which does not link against libc.so.6.

    With the dummied up libdmpeg.so in place the VIA-supplied driver works.  It 
    complains a bit, but it works.

    I'll keep the page up unless VIA complains to me.  I don't know why they would,
    though.
