Yes. When I boot the Lubuntu Trusty 20131129 i386 DVD to the llive DE on that VIA P4M800 box I just get a blank screen, but you can tell the backlight is on.
Booting the same image on my Intel box shows this version info:

Description: X.Org X server -- VIA display driver
OpenChrome is a project for the development of free and open-source drivers
for the VIA UniChrome video chipsets.
.
Originally called the 'snapshot' release, since it was a snapshot of an
experimental branch of the unichrome cvs code, this is a continued development
of the open source unichrome driver (from http://unichrome.sf.net) which
also incorporates support for the unichrome-pro chipsets.
.
Support for hardware acceleration (XvMC) for all chipsets has subsequently
been ripped out of the unichrome.sf.net driver. Therefore your only option if
you wish to make use of the acceleration features of your VIA chip with free
and open-source drivers is to use this version of the driver.

AFAIK this broke between Saucy Alpha 1 and Saucy Alpha 2 but I could never find anything in the changelog to give me any clues.
