First of all you might want to try 11.3 which was released in July/10. Many Xorg enhancements have been incorporated into it. For example the native open source driver for ATI Radeon now supports 3D acceleration for my laptop's HD 4200 chipset and I am have KDE 4.x composite and special effects; until 11.2 I had to use ATI's blob driver to get the same effects. Also IIRC, Chrome from VIA has not been well supported in Xorg and neither have I seen VIA release any blob drivers although they claim Linux support; this was about 18 months ago when I was researching their embedded boards for an application. I would suggest the following: 1. Contact VIA support and tell them about your dilemma - (no assurance of solving your problem). Also next time please research Linux support for any hardware before buying and save yourself some time by avoiding chasing such issues. 2. Read this <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636206> (extracted from Google with keywords "xorg driver K8M890CE" - I hope you had tried it). This might help solve your problem. 3. Put in an external graphics card that is well supported by Xorg. Most motherboards have a PCI-express slot for external video card, besides the embedded video controller. (you may get a fully functional setup with hardware acceleration for 3D) HTH -- Arun _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
