where does viafb go?

Hi,

recently viafb was added to linux 2.6.28. While it allows to use VIA's 
graphic cards directly via framebuffer, it does not support all hardware 
features (e.g. the mpeg-2 decoder or mpeg-4 accelerator).

My question is: does anyone here now about future development of the 
driver to support these features? As far as I know VIA will not publish 
any code about this, because of possibly license problems [1].

Thanks for any info in advance.
Marc
