Yes, looking at the several patches, I did notice that when patches are
created, they are done against the current master branch on the Git repository
rather than using diff against the cloned version on the local computer.
I honestly do not want to create the patch against the cloned version on my
computer.

Benno, I think I figured out how to create a patch, and I will upload it
shortly.
It doesn't really fix anything, but it merely updates a few cosmetic issues of
OpenChrome (i.e., VM800 / VN800 naming issue, better device support message in
Xorg.0.log.).
