Could you try this code: http://www.infradead.org/~jsimmons/release_0_3_0-Feb27.tar.bz2 It's the next gen version of the code. THANKS. I installed that release. It no longer produces the error message from the monitor, but now the screen just remains completely blank instead. This was with no xorg.conf. The Xorg.0.log is attached. Errors now are: [ 11.288] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfbdevhw.so [ 11.297] (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 11.297] compiled for 1.9.0, module version = 0.0.2 [ 11.297] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 8.0 [ 11.297] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory [ 11.953] (EE) CHROME(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:00:01.0: No such file or directory [ 12.087] (EE) CHROME(0): VIAVidHWDiffInit: Unhandled ChipSet. Any further ideas or clues?
