I found the following page for the k8m800 motherboard.
Everything I have found from via is sub par to say the least.
It has a via_drv.o file that "seems" to do something. (cant see as I'm
home).
hope this helps someone else...

VIA's support for their Unichrome chipsets on Linux is a little lacking.
I got a system with one of these. It even had Linspire preinstalled, and
running in vesa mode.
There's a project for this, but from reading their site it looks they
don't have the Unichrome Pro working well yet.
http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/
You might try buying one in this case. Even most of the cheapest should
give a significant improvement, provided that they have 3d support and
working Linux drivers.
