 I'm using the openchrome driver on  a Jetway motherboard (NF76 / Via Nano
 + VX800) with a 640x480 LVDS LCD Display with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

 Relevant section from xorg.conf file:
 {{{
 Section "Device"
     Identifier    "Generic Video Card"
     Driver        "openchrome"
     Option        "VBEModes"    "true"
     Option        "ActiveDevice"    "LCD"
     Option        "PanelSize"    "640x480"
     Option        "SWCursor"    "true"
 EndSection
 }}}
 X starts up fine, however, when I try to switch back to a virtual console
 or reboot, I see that the text console is all scrambled; the old text
 appears to be smeared into vertical stripes. It almost seems like I need
 to define a modeline.

 Note, without the VBEModes=true option, X will also start up scrambled.
 For some reason, the hw cursor is also missing up so I need to enable
 SWCursor.

 Also, I don't encounter any problems when I change the driver to vesa,
 however, I would like to use the openchrome driver if possible.

Comment(by gang65):

 Attach you Xorg.0.log file from openchrome. Take also photo of the
 scrambled text console, and attach to this ticket.
