I sent the previous message to fast and did not reply to you question 
correctly.
The problem in the current CVS unichrome driver is a Opss when the via_drv.o
deallocates a piece of DRM memory twice. Elsewhere in the Xserver DRM 
context
1 is removed. (This occurs when the Xserver resets its self when the lat 
client
disconnects and the  a new client connects and uses XVIDEO). It would 
appear that
the via_drv.o code needs to be called back to tell it to shutdown. Is 
there such a
call back to a driver? If so the via_drv.o code needs to arrnage for it 
to be called
and clean up.

I'm about to ship a product with a work around to the bug in the 
Unichrome drivers.
I'm not going to be able to doing any testing until a few weeks time.

What I really need to know is do you have people that are supporting 
UNichrome for
XFree86. I can work with them on getting the bugs fixed. However if 
unichrome
does not have support then I going to be forced to Xorg that does have 
support, and
I'm not happy with the stability of Xorg.
