Very simple: The 9385 and 9382, do not use the same driver. A different
chip
version does mean different driver. This is not just a new rev. of the
chip
or some bug fix, it's just other chip. It may be similar, so you get
some
thighs working, but not the same.
I had similar problems with some windows driver not for my video card
chip.
All got resolved when the right driver was installed.
Any way, you may try to run your X-Windows with the VGA server and see
if
every thing works. This is a compatible mode, so all VGA cared should
work ok
in this mode. If all is ok in VGA mode, than the driver is definitely
wrong.
