[Openchrome-users] Missing VIA specs?

[Soeren D. Schulze]

Hello,

a few weeks ago, I bought a computer with an EN15000 board from a 
reseller.  According to VIA, the video card is a CN700 (lspci says: VIA 
Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])).

Using OpenChrome, I experience some stability problems with that machine 
(namely silent freezes, though they are diminishing over time for some 
reason), and there seems to be something strange with DRI (glxgears 
leaves artefacts on the screen).

I heard about rumors that VIA was refusing some specifications for their 
hardware.  My idea is that I could get my reseller, which seems to offer 
some GNU/Linux-based machines with a UniChrome (older model, though; in 
an ML6000) itself, to impose some pressure on VIA.

For that reason, could you tell me what exactly is missing and how VIA 
has reacted to prior requests?


Thank you
