That's good to know.

Exactly. So hw cursor is broken as well as dual screen. I can live with 
that. ;-)

I hadn't thought the netbook being _that_ modern. ;-)
Anyway, the logs didn't indicate this, so I didn't know.

I tried again today, this time with kernel 3.4.0rc6 from yesterday and 
matching xorg openchrome driver.

When booting with "via.modeset=1", the kernel does modesetting on the 
VGA port, but not for the internal display which turns blank.

Openchrome then matches the VESA/DDC modes from the display with the 
internal/EDID modes from the LCD and falls back to 640x480 and 640x350 
resolution, with the internal LCD staying off.

The new KMS modesetting drivers works, although quite slowly (it is 
unaccelerated, after all). Again, it only knows about VGA-0.

And thank you for providing a working Linux/Xorg driver for these pieces 
of .... ;-)

Best regards,
