[Openchrome-users] A black screen is all I've been able to achieve. How to go on?

Sat Oct 17 15:50:04 PDT 2009

Dear Xavier,

yes, my LCD screen's resolution is 1024x768; I set the option you
mentioned. The log files vary slightly (I have pasted the diff below:
the new log file has the additional line 226, and where the old file
has only the single line 244, the new one has the 3 lines 245-247. But
please let me know if you would prefer the new log file as a
whole.). The behaviour is still the same.

I have also pasted the config file below, FWIW.

I'd still be grateful for any further suggestions (have I perhaps
omitted some information?). Many thanks again and best regards,

Florian

Here's the diff ('diff OLD-LOGFILE NEW-LOGFILE'
OLD-LOGFILE is the one I posted on the Web):
