Hi,

I found these links.  It looks like I might have to build something. 
Would I have to rebuild Xorg? :'(

http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/
http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/lib/XvMC/hw/via/
http://www.ivor.it/cle266/
http://apollo.backplane.com/FreeBSD/

Would I have to get the latest xorg + these drivers with some sort of 
package manager?  How can I tell the current version of Xorg that I am 
running?  Could I just compile these drivers?  If so, how do I get them 
to work, and how do I get it into the system so that I can select them?
