[Openchrome-users] installation-report: stretch-testing on NEOWARE m100: no graphics

There is some improvement visible regarding openchrome video-diver, particularly, there

is no xorg.conf necessary any more in order to make use of the VESA-driver, but obviously

X falls back to VESA automatically, which is positive in my opinion, so people will have

some workable graphics-output, even if openchrome-video-driver is not workable properly on

their hardware, without fiddling with Xorg-configuration.

See attached logfile [Xorg.0.log]

As far as I can tell, this is the essential part of the log, showing, why openchrome is
not workable yet:

.

..

..
.
.

It would be even nicer, guys, if openchrome worked properly on my hardware instead of
falling back to VESA. Now this would really be super-great, get it?
