Lars, I'm not sure this is related but I'm unable to even boot Lubuntu i386 20120827 to the live desktop on my old VIA box:
VIA C7 CPU @ 1500MHz VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) VIA VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78) 1GB DDR2 RAM I just get as far as the error displayed in the attachment. The images have actually been this way ever since Ubuntu dropped Unity- 2D. Just thought it'd be wise to share the info ;^) ** Attachment added: "P4M800_boot_error.JPG" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1041625/+attachment/3279841/+files/P4M800_boot_error.JPG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041625 Title: X not starting after install [openchrome] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1041625/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
