If you feel like doing the stablerelease update paperwork and
verifications, you could get it fixed in saucy (and indirectly lts-
saucy). But that would take some efford into finding out the bare
minimum to make things work, which is probably too much work. :)

Title:
VIA P4M800 graphics broken in Lubuntu/Xubuntu Saucy & 12.04.4
candidate
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-openchrome” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-openchrome” source package in Saucy:

Bug description:
Please bear with me and read all of this. Since I can't get a working
display in Saucy with that graphics chip I need to use this method to
file the initial bug report, but I can provide info using a chroot or
replacing the "quiet splash" boot parameter with "text" which takes me
to a tty interface.
I hope using the tty interface provided by using the "text" boot
parameter I can use "apport-collect" to collect the info needed from
an installed Lubuntu 13.10 but I won't do so until asked by a dev in
case some "switch" needs to be set to collect the appropriate info.
I also want to say that I'm fully aware that graphics chip is not
supported by Ubuntu/compiz itself, or even GNOME's mutter window
manager, but I think it should still work with the openbox, metacity,
and Xfwm window managers ...... at least I hope so :^)
So onto what actually happens. When I try to boot either Lubuntu or
Xubuntu Saucy Alpha 2, either the live image or an installed version,
I just get a frozen progress bar. So it's just 5 frozen dots on the
screen. If I try booting through the recovery mode or otherwise trying
to "startx" or "'sudo service lightdm start' I just get a blank
screen. I can see the backlight is working but that's all.
This is the specific hardware:
VIA C7 CPU @ 1500MHz
VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)
VIA VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78)
1GB DDR2 RAM
I did take a pic of the live image boot process while dealing with an
unrelated d-i bug during Lubuntu Alpha 2 testing process:

Now I'm wondering what else to say ............... the same Saucy
images and installs work with two other totally different sets of
hardware.
I'm ready to roll up my sleeves to help gather any needed info. Thanks
in advance.
