My system was using the the xserver-xorg-video-via driver not openchrome
as I thought. I uninstalled the via driver and reinstalled the xserver-
xorg-video-openchrome driver and everything is fine. I have 1440x900
resolution!

first problem that I can see is in the package description:
This driver is originally shipped to be loaded as 'via' on xorg.conf, but this
package renames it to 'unichrome', so it doesn't conflicts with the other VIA

this section is obsolete.

You can now get the unichrome driver packaged quite easily:
git-clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~libv/xf86-video-unichrome/
Then run dpkg-buildpackage on it to watch a correct package being
created.

I was just calling the original driver official, because
unichrome/openchrome are both derived from the via driver. that one was
bad/buggy/..., hence not really something official.
Furthermore, I9 think ubuntu wouldn't want to express any preference
between openchrome and unichrome. let's just
please, can we have this fixed before feisty?
it's really simple to fix this:
1) xserver-xorg-video-via should contain
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so with the old via driver.
2) xserver-xorg-video-unichrome should contain
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so with the new unichrome
For whatever nasty and deprecated value of official here :)
There really is no real X maintainer for xf86-video-via. It was once
sanctioned that openchrome was in charge of that, and that i, being the
author of most of the code there too, as such, was not to be involved.

I should support P4M800 (although i don't have this device
specifically), as the P4M800 is a VT7205 moved from an AMD northbridge
(KM400) to an intel northbridge.
What i don't support is the P4M800CE and Pro and whatever variants VIA
marketing have thought up.
So if you have something with a
This was caused by Rodrigo Parra Novo [EMAIL PROTECTED], when he
explicitely ignored my advice on how to handle the different unichrome
forks.
As i'm not close to debian packaging, i'm not sure whether this is so
feasible, but Replaces/Conflicts between the different packages
should've solved
People just get the default via_drv.so installed, if they
want to switch to another one, why not just apt-get install
that one, and have the default replaced?
The problem is that, although we do that, we must change the name of the
file because the driver can't load

I have the same problem.
My video card is the S3 Unichrome K8M800. I am using Ubuntu Edgy Eft,
i386.

I was able to resolve the unichromeModuleData issue by renaming the file
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/unichrome_drv.so to
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so and changing the driver to via on
the xorg.conf.
The only problem is that this file conflicts with the package
