[Openchrome-users] Problem: Openchrome, Ubuntu 7.10, and VN800

[Coady Buckley-Zistel]

I have installed the openchrome driver in Debian Etch, Fedora 8, and 
Ubuntu 7.10. In the case of the Debian and Fedora the driver is 
recognised, X-server and GDM load without trouble. The driver is being 
loaded:
Code:
	grep openchrome /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(II) LoadModule: "openchrome"

In the case of Ubuntu 7.10 the openchrome driver is loaded but 
'X-server' fails and GDM will not load. This has been the case with both 
upgrades and fresh installs of Ubuntu 7.10. The X-server defaults to 
'xorg.conf.failsafe'.

Can someone please help me with this...?

I am no expert, but on comparing the 'Xorg.0.log' files in both Debian 
Etch and Ubuntu 7.10 the only lines I can find that look suspect are the 
following:

Thanks for any help.
