[Openchrome-users] Chrome9 HC VN896 + VT8237a not working

[V.O. Dah]

Hello all.
Several people reported that Chrome9 HC  VN896/P4M900
works for them.  But it does not work for me, whatever I try.

    I described the problem already in July-August (see e-mail from Jul 26  2007)
In short:
 I have Chrome9 HC IGP (VN896, but lspci says P4M900) and VT8237.
This is NEXOC notebook, made from Clevo M660 SE barebone notebook
The LCD monitor TFT, 15,4 inch
kernel version: 2.6.23.1

attached are
1) two Xorg.conf files and two corresponding logs 
(via driver: revision 420 of experimental branch)
2) the output of lspci -vvn command

The xorg-1.conf is taken from the Brazilian guy,
 for whom openchrome driver worked for Chrome 9HC. 
It contains an explicit declaration of ModeLines.
The xorg-2.conf is the same, but without the declaration of ModeLines.

Xorg-1.conf gives me correct picture; with Xorg-2.conf the I see only upper
right part of the huge screen, like:
______________
| what      |          |
| I see     |          |
|________|          |
|                        |
|______________|

Both do not work.


On Slackware 12.0 (Xorg 7.2):
    if I type "startx" (from init  3), then I see the XFCE splash screen, 
and then the machine hangs.
If I type "init 4", then xdm (or kdm) starts normally.
 I can switch between consoles, the picture is OK, 
I can give my login and password. Then, I press OK, 
and after few moments machines hangs. 

On Debian 4rc0 (Xorg 7.1) , the story is somewhat different:
GDM starts, picture is OK, everything is OK, I login.  
And I can work for 10-15 minutes sometimes (if I open xterm only),
 but sooner or later, machine hangs.

I remember that Xavier Bachelot made some patch for DDR II 667 in Aug. 2007.
Can it be because I have DDR 667 MHz (and other people 533 or some other)
that my machine hangs?

Question to people who have *working* Chrome9 HC    VN896 + VT8237a :
    what is the frequency tact of your RAM?

Thanks for any suggestions/help,

Andre Kusmin
