Wow, whose code are we talking about ? Just for your information (and Jeff will confirm), it was possible to integrate the VIA driver in the kernel only because I fixed many integration issues, (VIA was mostly unresponsive), and I don't have this hardware. I told you the problem was the lack of testing. Now that you solved this issue, things will go forward. But, I'm only human.
