If you have a specific situation of OpenChrome Version 0.4.0 not working, please file a bug report with http://bugs.freedesktop.org.
I typically ask everyone seeking help to do this.
Just to be very clear, I will not fix any bugs that appear in versions older than Version 0.4.0, and certainly, I will not revive VBE and legacy mode setting (and "known device table").
I did make a few commits that fixed a problem I observed with CLE266 (EPIA-M) and VX800 (EPIA-M830) chipsets before the new release.
Please note that I did test the code with 2 CLE266 chipset mainboards (EPIA-CL and EPIA-M).
Both of them worked without issues, although both of them still suffer from a standby mode resume bug even today (This is disclosed in the newly rewritten README file that came with the new release.).
I used Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for testing.
    Although I probably should not get personal, I will need to let you know that I sent you 4 e-mails between October 2015 to December 2015 regarding OpenChrome.
It appears that you choose to ignore all of them.
You are under no obligation to explain why you choose to do this to me, but personally, I think it is very unprofessional to completely ignore me this way.
While I sent several e-mails to James Simmons around the same time, at least he has completely disappeared since January 2015 or so.

Kevin Brace
