Hi Jeffrey,

I will close the bug if you do not mind, but I released a new version of
OpenChrome (finally!), so that should take care of the issue you have brought
up.
It is my view that Linux / BSD distributions that used OpenChrome Version
0.2.906 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 12.04 LTS) and OpenChrome Version 0.3.3 (Ubuntu
14.04 LTS) should be able to replace it with OpenChrome Version 0.4.0 (and
possibly beyond) without issues.
That being said, I removed what I call "known device table" from OpenChrome,
and it is always possible that this can cause side effects (regression).
I did do my own testing as much as possible to ensure that this will not
happen, but since I am not VIA Technologies, I do not own every possible VIA
hardware that exists out there.
Of course, I am sure you know this by now, but this "known device table" in the
stock Version 0.3.3 caused the very bug you reported.
The previous developers eventually fixed the "known device table" pointer bug
(Dariusz Gadomski of Canonical pointed this out), but around that time, they
seem to have lost in the project (the number of commits really went down in
2014 and 2015), so a new version was not released to fix this fatal bug that
affected many people.
This version should have been called Version 0.3.4.
Anyway, roughly 2 years or so late, but I corrected this inaction, finally.
