At this point, I am not an official maintainer or developer of OpenChrome, but between June to early September 2015, I have worked on trying to fix a bug that causes LCD screen to get lost when the computer resumes from ACPI S3 State (Suspend to RAM or STR). So far, I was not successful in fixing this bug, but in the process, I did learn something about OpenChrome device driver. In my opinion, many portions of the UMS (User Mode Set) display management code paths are broken. This is ultimately the root cause of why things are not working out on your end. I do own one laptop with VN896 chipset (MSI VR321 laptop I am now typing this posting from.) and the OpenChrome I obtained from freedesktop.org anonymous Git repository works fine except ACPI S3 State resume. I also own VX800 chipset-based mainboard from VIA Embedded, but it is in storage right now (I can get it ready if I have to.). I do not currently own VX855 or VX875 chipset-based mainboard, so I am not able to do the precise testing on that mainboard, but I can definitely report that OpenChrome 0.3.3 works fine with VX800 integrated graphics except ACPI S3 State resume. Anyway, here is the very detailed instructions on how to compile and install OpenChrome compiled from the source code. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Openchrome/Installation/ The only thing to watch out is to actually make a backup of the original OpenChrome compiled device driver files just in case you need to restore it. Other than that, if you follow the instructions, the compiled device driver code should get installed without too many issues. If you want me to, I can start looking into the VX855 / VX875 UMS display management code path to see what the device driver is doing. Let me know what you will like me to work on (Other than a vague demand like "fix my problem right now!").
