[Openchrome-users] CX700M(2) on VIA EPIA-EX15000G

[bWare@iWare.co.uk]

Hi Tobias,

You could certanly get conflicts. I notice that on Gentoo the newest
Openchrome is specifically marked not to install alongside the xorg
'via' driver. Though it is not clear why, it dose not provide a
different kernel module or libGL.so. (Well it relies on the xorg kernel
module not the mainline kernel one, but the xorg via driver can use this
as well)

Not sure what 'official' means any more:

I would consider the 'via' drivers in the kernel and xorg to be the most
'official', but they don't support the CX700M2 yet.

Next the is the 'official' binary 'via' driver that VIA have released
themselves. I have never tried it, but it is meant to be fast but
unreliable (and insecure). I am fairly sure installing this would
conflict with pretty much any other driver; it will have its own
incompatible kernel module, and possibly some gl libraries.

The http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/ driver is no more or less official
then the http://openchrome.org/ and doesn't support the CX700M2, so I
assume you didn't mean this?

If this doesn't sort it out you are probably best trying the alternative
openchrome branches:

http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/branches/experimental_branch
http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/branches/randr_branch
