Experimental Open Source VIA Video Driver
Use the Padlock Security Engine & Dual Quantum Random Number Generators
echo "padlock-sha" >> /etc/modules
echo "padlock-aes" >> /etc/modules
echo "via-rng" >> /etc/modules
echo "rng-core" >> /etc/modules

Now reboot and notice web-browsing is faster than any conventional Desktops/Laptops lacking hardware encryption (AMD, Intel)

Only VIA CPU's have hardware encryption so they achieve ultra high performance in encryption and decryption based tasks such as web browsing,ssh,(everything really) uses encryption and decryption so we see obscene performance increase by using these modules in Linux! (See chart)

Autoload VIA's Core Architecture on boot in Mandriva Cooker, copy and paste the following into a root terminal without the "quotes"

"wget http://www.geocities.com/ps2_blows/sh/autoload_core_architecture.txt -O /etc/init.d/viac7.sh ; echo "/etc/init.d/viac7.sh" >> /etc/rc.local ; chmod 775 /etc/init.d/viac7.sh"

Now your VIA C7's Padlock Security Encryption/Decryption engine is active, however to get OpenSSL to use it, we have to make OpenSSL from source, its easy if you use my script. So here we go, as root paste the following without the quotes into your terminal:

"cd /root ; mkdir openssl ; cd openssl ; mkdir padlock; cd padlock ; wget http://geocities.com/ps2_blows/sh/patcher.txt -O OpenSSL_autopatch-make-install.sh ; chmod 775 OpenSSL_autopatch-make-install.sh ; ./OpenSSL_autopatch-make-install.sh"

phesum will run at the end, hit ctrl+c to exit the installer. phesum will work now on your system, to use it for example run "touch 1 ; ./phesum 1"
on computers without padlock (Intel atom,AMD,Intel Core-i7, anything thats not VIA) phesum wont work and it will give an error "Illegal Instruction"

now run "openssl engine padlock" and you should see (no-RNG,ACE,ACE2,PMM)   (on standard non-awesome computers you'll see (no-RNG,no-ACE)
The PMM, thats Padlock's Montgomery Multiplier

You are now more secure than anyone else's PC based on Intel or AMD CPU's (Even the huge servers) >:]   and not only that, but we can crack encryption just as well as we can encrypt, this means any systems without hardware encryption are very unsecure against attacks from this kind of a machine. Its a hackers dream CPU, inside a laptop the size of a dvd case! Truely a insanely powerful machine!
Simple backup command to create a list of installed packages on RPM based systems.

rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" | cat > rpm.list

To restore all software on a Mandriva System, type:

urpmi $(cat installed_rpms.list) --auto
urpmi --auto-update --auto

You may get an error like:
"No such package gpg-pubkey" if thats the case than just "nano rpm.list" and delete gpg-pubkey

Here is my rpm.list

To upgrade the entire system and install multimedia extras run (as root)
wget www.geocities.com/ps2_blows/rpms.list.txt
urpmi --auto-update --auto ; urpmi $(cat rpms.list.txt) --auto



other examples using smart package manager (also works on Mandriva)

smart install $(cat installed_rpms.list)

pretty much whatever RPM based system you are using, just type your favorate package manager's install command, for example "yum install $(cat installed_rpms.list)

This is a very useful command because it saves ALOT of time and work in a single file!
Make sure you backup your installed packages list on a few diffrent storage devices, maybe later on you'll be glad you did!
Using Mandriva Cooker with the latest adobe flash beta is the best and fastest way to view flash videos, to install it just run:

urpme flash-player-plugin;urpmi smart;smart install ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/2007.0/i586/media/main/testing/libcurl3-7.15.5-2mdv2007.0.i586.rpm ;smart install http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_install_linux_091508.i386.rpm
Download, Burn & Install Mandriva Cooker 2009 If your smart enough to be reading this page using a Linux machine, then you should also download the sha1sum and check every single bit of data to make sure the install image is flawless, here is the sha1         
Just copy the sha1 link and wget it as root, then sha1sum -cw mandriva-linux-free-2009-sophie-dvd-i586.iso.sha1
You should see a big "OK" if the image is flawless, anything else means its corrupted.

Using the above software drivers, Operating syetsm, and hardware mod, the Everex Cloudbook can be a real desktop-replacement machine with well over 5 hours of battery life, The graphics chip works with either "openchrome" or "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I use "vesa" because it uses less battery life and doesnt occasionally reload X, Gnome, or KDE. The viaarena experimental open source driver will soon be recognized by XFdrake, untill then if anybody knows how to use it with X11/Xorg, please email me @ [email protected]
Thank you.

There is a new source code tarball available for the VIA Nanobook's Graphics Chipset (CX700M2/VX700) available directly from via's open source linux site (linux.via.com.tw) The tarball name is Chrome.83-242-2D-SRC.tar.gz (on the website you wont see the filename extension ".tar.gz"
Download the file, tar zxvplf chrome.83-242-2d-src.tar.gz ; cd xf86-video-via-83.1.0 ; nano README
Just read the file and follow the simple directions. If it does not work then you probably need some extra software to compile it with. Check google.com
Using Addonics CF-ZIF "DIY"SSD Adapter and a really fast Compact Flash card supporting @ least UDMA 4! (a very nice choice, The RiDATA Lightning 32GB 233x Compact Flash Card.) I am now achieving desktop-replacement machine performance in my tiny VIA-based UMPC!
MORE PERFORMANCE HACKS! (For any *nix system)
Double disk read performance in a single command (I suggest you add it to "/etc/rc.local")
"blockdev --getra /dev/sda1"  (can be /dev/hdc1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/xxx etc, device)
"blockdev --setra 8192 /dev/sda1" 

other good values are 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, maybe 16384 , it depends on the number of drives and thier speed, your RAID controller, etc.

Use S.M.A.R.T.

smartctl --smart=on --offlineauto=on --saveauto=on /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 etc
or just
smartctl --smart=on --saveauto=on /dev/sda , or /dev/sda1 , or both.

add these commands to /etc/rc.local

echo "blockdev --setra 8192 /dev/sda1" >> /etc/rc.local"
echo "smartctl --smart=on --offlineauto=on --saveauto=on /dev/sda"
echo "smartctl --smart=on --offlineauto=on --saveauto=on /dev/sda1"

now you can correct block errors in real time, preventing any files from being corrupted.
The blockdev set read access performance "hack" works very well with XFS, if you use XFS with a SSD and compcache then use the commands: 

blockdev --setra 8192 /dev/sd*
blockdev --setra 8192 /dev/hd*
blockdev --setra 8192 /dev/ram*  (This one is important! it makes your RAM read access bandwith MUCH higher! Adding this to /etc/rc.local would be very smart! )

You will get a system so fast, so responsive, so awesome, that you would probably go blind. Also if your still not getting the instant program loading times, try using xfs_fsr
You will need a LiveCD/LiveDVD/LiveUSB/etc to mount the XFS root, then xfs_fsr -vvv /mnt/xfs (for example) also xfsrestore,xfsdump,xfs_check,and xfs_repair are all great tools to use on your new high performance root file system! xfsdump is great for backups!
XFS likes to use RAM, so if you have alot or a little ram XFS will still cause your system to use swap, avoid using swap at all costs because Compressing the RAM will result in basicly having infinite RAM, this feeds into XFS's performance factor, to enable compcache type the following:

svn checkout http://compcache.googlecode.com/svn/trunk compcache
cd compcache
make
./use_compcache.sh
Intel Atom users (if any), watch this video
and then read this web page
Atom struggles with HD 720P
For Atom users, you will have to downsample all your High-Def videos if you want them to play on your Asus EEE PC or Acer Aspire One, or anything with a Intel Atom inside :D

For us VIA users, we can enjoy our amazing 1080i High Def Videos with amazing quality and smootheness using viaarena experimental display driver in Linux.

"(Atom) is less than a third of the performance of our Centrino (high-end mobile processor). You are dealing with something that most of us would not use."
-Paul Otellini Intel, CEO

"The VIA Nano processor was designed to bring power efficiency and performance to everyone, with no compromises." Wenchi Chen VIA, CEO

Intel's performance has always lacked, however this time it just simply sucks. The Atom is a CPU based on the old ARM CPU's used in PDA's, the truth is that Atom isint even a real x86, it has to translate x86 code into something a RISC can read.
Expect VIA Nano 45nm native Dual-Core's to arrive in 2009 to smash the atom by intel.

Nvidia's CEO Loves VIA's Nano CPU!
Here is some data to shut up intel fan boys. All intel processors lack performance, but the Atom by Intel lacks everything, not just performance. Atom processors have such poor performance they can only be used for web browsing, this is why any machine with an Atom inside is a MID (Mobile web browser) or "Mobile Internet Device" (for those of you who are foolish enough to buy a MID) Real power users (like me) do hardcore research before they buy a machine! Intel fan boy's just buy whatever crap intel has released and then go home and install windows XP on it so they can go check thier myspace account 24/7 on thier lazy fat asses! intel can reverse-engineer all they like, but they will never be stable like the real thing.
reference links
intel reverse-engineered AMD64 technology
another link
yet another link

However real CPU's with actual processing power like the VIA Nano  are used in Ultra Portable Personal Computers (UPPC's) or Ultra Mobile Personal Computers (UMPC's)
these are fully featured x86 desktop systems that just happen to be no larger than a DVD case!
The Atom based computer reviews are in! lets see....

"TIRED Slower than a sedated slug at just about every app despite 1.6-GHz Intel Atom chip and 1-GB DDR2 RAM"

"Considerably heavier than advertised"

"The Intel Atom is Far too buggy to be taken seriously"

Here are some links to reference sites

intel atom far too buggy to be taken seriously
intel Atom not Linux Compatable.
Intel Atom based MID's like the Asus EEE PC have a small part of the storage at high speed, but the majority of it much slower, this is because the Atom cannot handle large storage devices at high speeds.
Anyway its really no contest, the Nano is superior in all ways, that Atom is just another epic fail by intel.
