I had upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. I have openchrome installed and my chipsets are via chipsets [K8M800-CE] via VT8237R. I have played a lot with the xorg file and finally atleast made the display work. But m still not able to enable desktop-effects or use compiz and enjoy the full capabilities of ubuntu. I have heard and read a lot that via company as not released proper drivers for linux for K8M800, but openchrome works instead of it. I have the latest version of Openchrome. The fonts on my display are too small when browsing through mozilla firefox. I have a 17'' LCD screen whose resolution I have set to 1440x900. Still the display settings in ubuntu show Monitor: Unknown and rotations not supported. Here is my xorg file contents: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" #Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath "built-ins" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dri2" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "dri" Load "freetype" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30-70 VertRefresh 50-150 #HorizSync 60-80 #VertRefresh 60-80 #Modeline "1440x810@74" 126.44 1440 1472 1952 1984 810 825 835 851 #Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "ViewSonic" ModelName "VA1703w" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "PrintVGARegs" # [<bool>] #Option "PrintTVRegs" # [<bool>] #Option "I2CScan" # [<bool>] #Option "VBEModes" # [<bool>] #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>] #Option "AccelMethod" # <str> #Option "ExaNoComposite" # [<bool>] #Option "ExaScratchSize" # <i> #Option "SWCursor" # [<bool>] #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>] #Option "RotationType" # [<str>] #Option "Rotate" # [<str>] #Option "VideoRAM" # <i> #Option "ActiveDevice" # [<str>] #Option "BusWidth" # [<str>] #Option "Center" # [<bool>] #Option "PanelSize" # [<str>] #Option "ForcePanel" # [<bool>] #Option "TVDotCrawl" # [<bool>] #Option "TVDeflicker" # <i> #Option "TVType" # [<str>] #Option "TVOutput" # [<str>] #Option "TVPort" # [<str>] #Option "DisableVQ" # [<bool>] #Option "DisableIRQ" # [<bool>] #Option "EnableAGPDMA" # [<bool>] #Option "NoAGPFor2D" # [<bool>] #Option "NoXVDMA" # [<bool>] #Option "VbeSaveRestore" # [<bool>] #Option "DisableXvBWCheck" # [<bool>] #Option "ModeSwitchMethod" # [<str>] #Option "MaxDRIMem" # <i> #Option "AGPMem" # <i> #Option "I2CDevices" # [<str>] Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect" #Identifier "Card0" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "openchrome" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" Option "ExaNoComposite" "True" Option "ActiveDevice" "crt" Option "NoAccel" "False" Option "DisableIRQ" "True" VendorName "VIA Technologies, Inc."

Thats why I created this bug report if anyone else has any better solution or if its a bug ..
