Bug Description
VIA has released driver source without a license. Please take a few minutes to post to viaarena encouraging VIA to re-release the driver with an appropriate license included:

This is probably the quickest way to get support for this chipset.

I've added some text to my website explaing the issue:
http:// www.alittletooq uiet.net/ text/a- license- for-the- via-vt6656- linux-driver/
It would be good if we could generate a little noise to get some attention for this issue.
Thanks!
