[Openchrome-users] VX900(H) chipset

[Martin Schürrer]

Hi,

I've bought a Zotac ZBOX Nano VD01 [1] and hooked it up to a display
via HDMI. It uses the VX900H chipset.

I've managed to compile VIA's 64bit via_chrome9.ko for Ubuntu 12.04
(the drm_init api in the kernel was changed to drm_pci_init, but i
managed to fix that) and now the framebuffer /
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev supports 1920x1080 but no xv extension.

If I load the vesa xorg driver I get a maximum of 1024x768. If I load
the openchrome 0.9.206 driver (had to compile that myself too,
debian/ubuntu ships with 0.9.204 [2]) while I have via_chrome9 loaded
I see an output with 1024x768. If I load openchrome 0.9.206 without
via_chrome9 the screen remains blank.

The Xorg.0.log remains without error messages in any case.

If I install the via_drv.so that VIA supplies X segfaults.

Any ideas how to debug this issue?

Thanks,
Martin
