Hello Xavier Got the 0.3 source and compiled it but X failed to startup ...
I use Lubuntu 12.04 32-bit with the latest kernel3 x .27 i think it is ... Also, I seem to be satisfied with the VIA driver ... glxgears giving 980 fps ... although VIA runs on XAA and not exa ... with exa it crashes/does not show desktop after i enter password at the lightDM login screen ... nothing in logs ... suggest which log to look at ... I suggest you let me know what outputs and tests to run which can be of help you and I will do so and post the results to you/mailing list for the motherboard and processor mentioned ... Thats the best I can contribute to this project ...
