Talk:VIA Epia M II
From Gentoo Linux Wiki

The example make.conf file lists the variable
VIDEO_CARDS="via"
However, this epiawiki page shows that it needs to be cle266. Which is the right way to do it? Can someone include instructions on getting a framebuffer to work for the console? I assume the DirectFB package would be the way to do this?
According to: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=10&Search=cle266&Filter=1 ... "via" is correct.
To get the framebuffer to work, follow the VIA CLE266 instructions on this page: http://radagast.bglug.ca/epia/epia_howto/x453.html
What does this mean?: Investigate smart tools. smartmontools? There's another wiki for that and doesn't really belong in this article.
