It seems like VIA announces a new "open source portal" every time there is a new chipset out,
with source code "to follow". If the source ever appears, it is of horrible quality and the X
hackers have to waste their time reverse-engineering it before they can support the (now
obsolete) chip. 

Rinse and repeat...
