Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Via Unichrome Pro II Xorg driver for ltsp 4.2
Fortunately, Via released a binary driver for all Unichrome II boards (see the Via Linux portal) for Ubuntu Hardy. This one works fine but still is not as stable as the vesa driver. Generally speaking, there is no stable/perfect driver for the recent Via chipsets - the your luck with the one I have mentioned - it is the best I have seen so far. Hopefully this situation will change when Via fully releases the specs for their hardware to the opensource community.

With this pci_scan will know your video and Xorg will use the via driver for it and you'll see if it works.

But the via driver still doesn't work for this device at that version. And that is the bigger problem. I had already manually configured the via as the xserver in lts.conf and found that via didn't work for this device. I have looked around at the various groups that have been working on drivers for this card and have tried one of them which also didn't work. There have been quite a few structure changes to Xorg since this 4.2 ltsp and I was hoping that some one had a newer driver (binary) available compatible with this ltsp version. Any idea about where to find a newer via binary that might work with ltsp 4.2. I don't think that it would be easy to try to take a driver for the newer Xorg structure and backport it what was used for the 4.2 ltsp. Any thoughts on that?
