[Openchrome-users] VN800 Laptop Support

[Martin Juergens]

Hi Bill,
I use Ubuntu Dapper (current Ubuntu development release, it will get 
stable at 1st June).

The procedure was like that:

sudo apt-get install  subversion build-essential automake1.9 libtool 
pkg-config xserver-xorg-dev libxvmc-dev x11proto-gl-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
mkdir openchrome
cd openchrome
svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk
cd trunk
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Then I added

ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules"

to my "Files" section in my xorg.conf and changed Driver in the Section 
"Device" to via.

Please note that xv support with VN800 is currently broken, I already 
opened a trac ticket.
