hi jolt,
hey Martin,
in the meantime i was able to backport version 0.2.903-svn586 (not yet released) of the openchrome driver.i created this issue: https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-230and scheduled it for the next release.if you want to test the driver right now, please add a comment to this issueand i can upload the module with install instructions.
Ay ay Sir!
some questions about this issue: - which graphics card are you using? (lspci -v)
We use HP/Neoware e140 TC's, which have a VIA CN700 chipset /w integrated graphics. lspci is attached to this mail...
- does the old via (unichrome) driver work with this card? (/var/log/Xorg.0.log)
Yes the uni-one works perfectly, selecting DVI/VGA, switching console/xorg, h/v-sync... anything well! Only slower than the openchrome used in TS. By the way, the driver has been contributed by Marco Peterseil, ull find it in downloads/contributed. Just to mention, the driver is the openchrome-0.2.1-#!ยง$%&, staticly linked against xorg-6.9 as far as i can see. And the TS driver has problems with console<->xorg-switching-text-mode-staircase-artefacts. xorg-log attached.
p.s. this task took me quite some time as they kicked support for xorg < 7.1 (xf86_ansic needed and libpciaccess not present). i will send my diff to theopenchrome dev to get it included.
Man man, things change (2) fast nowadays... Many thanks for spending your time Martin!!!
