[Openchrome-users] K8M890 testing needed!!!

[bob davis]

Hi

I have the following hardware:
via k8m890ce
averatec av4145-eh1
lshw reports:
      product: 2200 Series
      vendor: Averatec
lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Unknown device 
3230 (rev 01)

1. I tried the new driver and I can now exit from X with either the menu 
log out or with <Ctrl><Alt>delete.
The problem is that the non X console display is all screwed up it shows 
the output in 2 columns. I can restart X and X is fine but the console 
output is definitely messed up. It also in a smaller font.

2. I have also updated drm kernel module with my video id 0x3230 and now 
my Xorg.0.log shows
------------
(II) VIA(0): [XvMC] Registering viaXvMC.
(II) VIA(0): [XvMC] Initialized XvMC extension.
Unknown Chip ID
------------
Where as before it said it could load because of missing dri

I havent been able to get mplayer to work yet. it crashes.

3. HWCursor works fine for me.
