The Xorg server has been broken for 2-3 years when using drivers for this chipset. I am not enough of an Xorg geek to know all the details, but it broke between FreeBSD 9.3 and later releases. And between Linux Puppy Precise-5.7.1 and later releases.
And all 3 drivers were tried: the original VIA driver, the 0.3.3 openchrome driver, and the 0.5.0 openchrome driver - and these are good fanless boards that are still sold today (686s) and they should be supported, especially since they worked fine previously and the support was broken in some way - I still use and/or support over dozen of them with UNIX type systems that rely on Xorg. These boards are not old outdated technolgy by any standard. Please fix whatever was broken, so that boards relying on this chipset can function with future UNIX-type system releases. Thank you. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
