[Openchrome-users] Fwd: Fujitsu Siemens L7310 unichrome pro PM880 not recognized by driver

[Andris Jankevics]

Hello,

You must recompile a ubuntu package to get this to work:

sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot 
sudo apt-get source xserver-xorg-driver-via

In directory, from which you executed command you will get a package source 
directory.

cd xserver-xorg-driver-via-0.1.33.2/src
pico via_id.c 
to the section PM800 add this row:
 {"Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo L7310",           VIA_PM800,   0x1734, 0x10AB, 
VIA_DEVICE_CRT | VIA_DEVICE_LCD},

Save the file and recompile a package.

sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-via 
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b      
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-driver-via_0.1.33.2-0ubuntu4_i386.deb    

Now you can restart a X server.

/etc/init.d/kdm restart or
/etc/init.d/gdm restart

Hope this wil help. Also you can edit vid_id.c file from cvs source code.
