[elrepo] sata_via

[Banu Bhandaru]

Totally understand your question but there is reason behind it. I think it is using vesa driver but the lshw shows that it is not using any particular driver.

I have downloaded the openchrome driver and will be installing it this am and run a second set of tests. I was able to install that driver on RHEL 7 using  'yum install xorg-x11-drv-openchrome’. Hope it is available in RHEL8.
