:). Yup, that is also what I have done for my VX900 board although it has VGA
port. As I replied you in a separate mail, right now I can't install Ubuntu
12.04 directly on my VX900 board, so I install it on another board(i.e. AMD's)
and transfer this hard disk to my VX900 board to use.

At my side, I have not tried Ubuntu 14.04 or Lubuntu/Xubuntu because even
Ubuntu 12.04 installation is failed at my side.So I am now using Ubuntu 12.04
with transferred hard disk. And I met similar degeneration issue when I execute
"sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome", the Xserver is
degenerated to 1.11 from previous 1.15. But the good thing is that current UMS
driver is working fine with this degenerated Xserver 1.11.
And I also found a very interesting thing which is that the closed VX900 driver
can work fine with this old Xserver 1.11 version. But for Xserver 1.15 and
latest 1.18, the closed driver is not working.I believe VIA company does not
maintain this closed driver for quite a long time.

Okay, no hurry for my privilege to commit the patch. Let's focus on this first
patch's commit by your privilege.

Thanks,
Frank
