Toshiba Satellite C50-B-19U laptop contains a WiFi adapter handled by

How else would you try whether a laptop is Ubuntu Friendly than
running the tests from LiveCD? I think this is quite reasonable
scenario. For example sombody wants to buy a laptop which was not tested
befor in Ubuntu Friendly program and asks for a couple of minutes or
half an hour to test it.
Maybe it is worth mentioning here the Plop Boot Manager project from
http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html which makes it possible (among
others) to boot from USB stick even if there is no BIOS support for
this.

I did some investigation with different pos and offset settings. I could
find out that:
when writing to the pos and the offset registers there are the following fields:
- the vertical position (y) is a 11bit wide
I created a test script which automatically moves the cursor using the
xte program vertically. With this it is possible to to scan the
values of the hardware register and check on the screen what happens.
Need to install xautomation package before:
$ sudo apt-get install xautomation
**
A debug patch to set the cursor position registers specified in the file
/home/ubuntu/pos.txt.

successfully updated to openchrome driver SVN revision 751. The problem,
however, remains.

Now the
I created a debug patch and tried to find out the problem areas. I was
looking at the following debug lines:
(II) CHROME(0): via_cursor.c:345: viaSetCursorPosition(..., x=-6, y=-4)
(II) CHROME(0): via_cursor.c:360: viaSetCursorPosition(): x=0, y=0, xoff=6,
yoff=4
Taking the via_cursor.c:360
The asciiart figure was corrupted in comment #6, see the attached file
