Bug#564688: VIA VT8623 [Apollo CLE266]: Heavy TV flickering after upgrade
Hi all, No, all they are telling you to do is go back to an older version and merge a couple of changes needed to let it build with a recent X.org. When it is fixed I'll update the package. I see... so let's hope it won't take to long for the openchrome gurus to resolve this issue. For the time being, I can only recommend to all other people whose HTPC is affected by this bug to fall back on Luc's unichrome driver. Compiling it using dpkg-buildpackage really worked like a charme, and the flickering is gone! (Thanks, Luc!)

Hi there, I understand the thread at http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/342 suggests a fix for the TV flickering problem. [quote] here's what you want : svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk -r 786 cd trunk/ svn merge -c 789 http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk svn merge -c 803 http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk svn merge -c 808 http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk [/quote] Any chance this is going to be integrated into xserver-xorg-video-openchrome anytime soon?

Julien, So the issue is resolved with the new version? I'm assuming it is and closing the report. Feel free to shout if not :) unfortunately I must shout... What *is* resolved is - xorg still loading the openchrome driver even after removing the corresponding package during the course of an upgrade due to a dependency conflict between xserver-xorg-video-5 and xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (resolved by stupid me finally rebooting the computer), and - the dependency issue described above, mutually excluding the installation of xserver-xorg-video-5 and xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (resolved by the latest upgrade). However, the main issue (flickering TV), which occured after an upgrade prior to the ones mentioned above, has *not* been resolved. Not too surprising -- xserver-xorg-video-openchrome is still at the same version (1:0.2.904+svn827-1) at which I first encountered the bug. So may I ask you to please re-open the bug?

Hi, You could use my unichrome git tree, you can dpkg-buildpackage it. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~libv/xf86-video-unichrome thanks, but unichrome doesn't support mpeg2 acceleration, does it? This is a must for our so-called 1 GHz VIA processor, which seems to have the computational speed of a 500 MHz Pentium...

When we first encountered this problem, xserver-xorg-video-openchrome was updated to version 1:0.2.904+svn812-1. (Unfortunately, I don't know which version was previously installed. Or is there a way to reconstruct a log of installed versions?) During the latest upgrade, xserver-xorg-video-openchrome got uninstalled since it obviously conflicted with the newly installed xserver-xorg-video-5 package. Funny enough, the openchrome driver still gets loaded, as can be seen from the Xorg log shown below. (Perhaps some openchrome stuff is still sitting around since the package got removed, not purged? Anyway, the fact that xserver-xorg-video-openchrome is 'officially' uninstalled on my system is the reason why I submit this bug to xserver-xorg, not to the driver package.) Please apologize my messy xorg.conf -- it just has grown from our first attempts to build a HTPC some five years ago to its current state... BTW, it's the TV ServerLayout that usually gets used. Regarding video modes, commenting out all lines in the Monitor TV section and leaving everything to the pre-defined '720x576something' modes didn't make any difference -- we have flickering with all of them. A similar bug report has already been sumitted to the openchrome project (http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/342), but since there has been little activity on this issue since about 4 weeks, I wonder whether it was possible to revert to a previous openchrome revision in Debian in order to restore TV out functionality? After all, HTPCs are one of the main application fields of VIA's Apollo chips, aren't they?
