<pre>On my hardware, this bug is still present. I am running from a USB flash drive
at this time, NOT the SD card, as the SD-to-IDE adapter I have been using is
not working properly.
Procedure I used, which can be used on ANY such system --
On networked system, opened terminal within 'openchrome' git directory, ran
commands...
# git reset --hard
# git pull
Copied directory to a flash drive, which already had the build deps on it.
Booted from another drive (which has many Puppies on it, for testing, etc,
purposes) into X-Tahr 1b3, based on TahrPup 6.0.2. I booted without pupsave
("RAM Mode") which means that the boot media was not mounted once booted.
CTRL+ALT+BKSP as soon as I saw the black screen replacing the text screen,
dropping me back into text mode. Manually mounted sda1 (boot drive) and sdb1
(deps+openchrome files drive). cd'd to sda1/xtahr/ and ran...
# sfs_load devx_tahr_6.0.2.sfs
...to load "devx" SquashFS file with development & compilation software inside.
cd'd to deps directory on sdb1 (deps+openchrome drive) and used "petget" to
install each package, ENTERing through the dialogs and pressing CTRL+C after
the last one to exit petget (otherwise it sits there till the end of time,
waiting for the display to open when it never will)...
# petget libmirclient7_0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget libmirclient-dev_0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget libmirplatform_0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget libmirprotobuf0_0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget libmirprotobuf-dev_0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget libprotobuf8_2.5.0-9ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget libprotobuf-dev_2.5.0-9ubuntu1_i386.deb
# petget mircommon-dev_0.1.8+14.04.20140411-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
...and cd'd back up one. Ran copy command...
# cp -r /xf86-video-openchrome /root/
...as I find that the driver will not compile while resident on the USB drive,
but *MUST* be copied over. (No idea why, looks to me to be something to do with
timestamps.) cd'd into /root/xf86-video-openchrome, ran commands, with expected
output...
# ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug
# make
# make install
Upon completion, ran...
# xorgwizard
At "this is about to test XORG" screen, pressed [ESC] to drop back to # prompt,
and manually edited xorg.conf and one other file...
# mp /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# mp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.VIA_VX855
...both are identical now, replacing the driver name "modesetting" with the
driver name "openchrome" -- xorgwizard is stubborn :P Afterward, cd'd into
/etc/X11 and removed some extraneous cruft that could potentially cause
confusion...
# rm xorg.conf.t2
# rm xorg.conf-auto-armsystem
# rm Xorg.conf-generic-laptop
...etc. Finally, ran command...
# xwin
Screen blanked, then popped up with the usual nasty garble. (He's dead, Jim...)
System did not respond to CTRL+ALT+BKSP, per usual, so held down power button
until poweroff occurred. Opened Chromium on networked system, navigated to

Kevin -- if you want to try in X-Tahr yourself -- no reason not to -- the
download is here (direct link) --

You will need the TahrPup 6.0.2 'devx' from here (direct link) --
<a href="http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-tahr/iso/tahrpup%20-6.0-CE/devx_tahr_6.0.2.sfs">http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-tahr/iso/tahrpup%20-6.0-CE/devx_tahr_6.0.2.sfs</a>
Download the listed package deps, above, from pkgs.org. I'm not going to bother
providing links for those, I'm too lazy :P sorry.</pre>
