hey cuneytm, martin has told me howto do so. have a look in the suite https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-230. if you don't like to register, here's the story in short:
(o) the driver: https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/secure/attachment/11210/via_drv.so. version: openchrome-0.2.903-svn586. (o) in the otc manager, edit the settings of the desired thin client to have the following additional kernel parameters: "union=/etc:/usr:/var" /wo the dbl'quotes, and restart the thinclient. this will make the filesystem rw. (o) scp (pw: foobar) the attached module to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ and overwrite the old one. i have used netcat to do so, but that's a matter of taste... thinclient: # nc -lp 3333 > /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so workstation: # nc -n 1.2.3.4 3333 < via_drv.so where 1.2.3.4 is the ip of the thinclient. (o) kill/restart the xserver by hitting (<CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE>) you can see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, that the new driver has loaded. the openchrome driver -- both are openchromes -- do while loading some benchmark of the video memory. at the very end of the log you should see some timings like: Fulfilled via DRI at 20976640 (II) VIA(0): Benchmarking video copy. Less is better. (--) VIA(0): Timed libc YUV420 copy... 1813278. Throughput: 326.4 MiB/s. (--) VIA(0): Timed kernel YUV420 copy... 1777349. Throughput: 333.0 MiB/s.

(II) VIA(0): [XvMC] Registering viaXvMC. (II) VIA(0): [XvMC] Initialized XvMC extension. (WW) VIA(0): Option "PasswordFile" is not used (II) VIA(0): - Done i have noticed no difference, +/- a few mb/s though... -jolt (*yawn* off to work) ----- Original Message ----- From: "cuneytm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 8:54 PM Subject: Re: [openthinclient-user] [Openthinclient-user] Lame Openchromedriver > > hi jolt, > > As I didnt hear from Martin for sometime, it should be holiday season in > his > hometown , can you please share with me how did you manage to install the > new shiny openchrome drivers? > > I have VIA unichrome pro chipset too and would love to update at the > earliest chance. > > Would you be kind enough to share how to do get and install the driver? > > All the best! > > > jolteroli wrote: >> >> hi ppl, >> >> guess the "Lame Openchrome driver" issue seems to be solved. it was the >> fact, that the thinclient in question (neoware e140) defaults to use 64MB >> of >> shared memory for the unichrome graphics chipset. that's much, because >> the >> model was equipped by 256MB only. since we haven't had any issue with >> ThinStation, i simply didn't look in the bios. after bothering martin >> (sorry >> again martin!) and some self tests, the penny has dropped! >> >> with 16MB shared, the neoware runs fine too and the OS owns 48MB memory >> more. what a flash of a genius, ain't it? :P now the new as well as the >> old >> driver is running smooth. >> >> -jolt >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's >> challenge >> Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great >> prizes >> Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the >> world >> http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ >> _______________________________________________ >> The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org >> [email protected] >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user >> >> > > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Lame-Openchrome-driver-tp18905980p19538790.html > Sent from the openthinclient.org users' mailing list mailing list archive > at Nabble.com. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's > challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great > prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the > world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user
