of the workaround. We don't know why after change graphic registers, the

A long long time ago, there used to be an old driver for VIA cards in

OpenChrome project was started to replace it sort of. There is no driver
at all in the xserver-xorg-video-via package... that package is just

I only mentioned the wireless driver, because Broadcom has a new version
available. It is not generally available as an installation package for
Ubuntu and it may not affect the bug of this thread at
There is a new STA driver on a Broadcom page:

It would be nice to try that one. Maybe it solves everything ...

There are instructions for making?
BTW, I also installed the new firmware for the wireless network card

didn't do away
