I checked out from the latest openchrome from
http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk . It really has an entry to my notebook
model with the same IDs, but after uninstall the previous one, make and
install the latest revision, it still doesn't working:
(EE) CHROME(0): Unknown Card-Ids (3371|1509|1D41), Chipset:
P4M900/VN896/CN896; please report to openchrome-users at openchrome.org

It's the same message.
What happens:
1. Certainly the window manager is loaded (but I can't see)
2. After "startx", the screen still behave as the laptop was turned off
3. Switch to any other virtual terminal has no effect, since the screen is
turned off
4. The only way I found was to reboot and use the "vesa" video driver until
now

I'd appreciate a solution to this problem, as would be good to find if
someone else using the same video device got a solution.
Am I going too deep, should I try the developers mail list?
