Thanks. I will either make a backport/update or forward to someone else that can do it :-) BTW, was some openchrome developer able to test on this computer?: http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo_2.asp?productid=29 (portuguese only) http://www.positivoinformatica.com.br/site/mobile_config_v52.htm Mandriva made OEMs to computers based on the above laptop that I believe sold, and still sell a signficantly large number in the Brazilian market. They were shipped with via binary drivers. Actually, I joined again Mandriva recently (well, almost 6 months now), and never managed to talk with anybody from via, besides sending mails to contacts at via, clevo and positivo from time to time. The only way I managed to use the openchrome driver (using latest versions and experimental branch also) on this computer was with the options "UseVBEModes" and "ShadowFB". Now I only have one version with an old bios/implementation that doesn't even work with the above options. But now it seems via is no longer working with clevo/positivo and newer versions will come with sis chipsets, and maybe there will also exist intel chipsets (but not sure if those will be shipped with Linux installed) > Regards, > Xavier Paulo _______________________________________________ openchrome-users mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.openchrome.org/mailman/listinfo/openchrome-users Main page: http://www.openchrome.org Wiki: http://wiki.openchrome.org User Forum: http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1
