I've successfully build viaarena's drivers for X on OS 10.3. This provides me
with three benefits: 1) video playback with good performance, meaning not
sluggish like with openchrome drivers or fbdev, both in totem-gstreamer and
even better in mplayer (via enchanced version), 2) after laptop's resume
console is still in good condition while it's broken with openchrome driver,
and 3) overall better performance.
But I had no success with 3D part of the driver (libGL.so.1.2 and *_dri.so), so
there is no direct rendering, but system is stable.
Of course, it was one hour job for me: 45 minutes to download driver source,
other source dependencies like -devel packages and kernel-source, 5 minutes to
correct install script with current kernel version of OS 10.3 and 10 minutes
for compiling the driver.
Now what is problem is that when kernel gets updated this compiling job has to
be done once more.
