[Openchrome-users] Ubuntu 7.10 and VIA VN800 'xorg.conf' error

[Coady Buckley-Zistel]

I have Fedora 8 running "1024x768" screen res and using the openchrome 
driver on the same laptop as Ubuntu (Amilo Pro V2030), but Ubuntu keeps 
failing to run the X server and then reverts to a failsafe 'xorg.conf'.

I have attached the 'Xorg.0.log'. The only problem I can see is in the 
following lines (but I am not an authority on this):

(II) VIA: driver for VIA chipsets: CLE266, KM400/KN400, K8M800,
     PM800/PM880/CN400, VM800/CN700/P4M800Pro, K8M890, P4M900/VN896,
     CX700, P4M890
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Chipset VM800/CN700/P4M800Pro found
(!!) VIA Technologies does not support or endorse this driver in any way.
(!!) For support, please refer to http://www.openchrome.org/ or
(!!) your X vendor.

My laptop has the 'CN700/VN800/P4M800CE/Pro' chipset and not the one 
identified in the log section (above). Something is wrong here. It looks 
like the chipset is being incorrectly identified. The openchrome driver 
has been working for the VIA VN800 in previous Debian based 
distributions and is currently working in other distro's. Any ideas...?

All the best, and thanks.
