JFYI, openSUSE does not ship openchrome driver.

openSUSE OSS ships with unichrome, which also does not work (see description, only difference: with openchrome the x-server crashes at the beginning, with unichrome rather at the end of a video). the last official release of openchrome (2y old) can be found in the OBS (Maintainer: Stefan Dirsch), https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xorg-x11-driver-video-openchrome&project=X11%3ADrivers%3AVideo As this driver (openchrome for openSUSE 12.1*) does not work properly with the present xorg, I reported a bug at the webpage just mentioned above (seemed to be the proper one, please tell me if not, I asked at the opensuse-de-IRC, where I was advised to do so). As a solution I proposed to try out the fixed openchrome from trunk (see description). I was not able to install it from trunk myself and asked, if a rpm could be easily made including the fixes for x-server 1.10 (i.e. at least up to openchrome revision 925), if not, there is the workaround to use the xorg from openSUSE 11.3 (the old xorg works fine with unichrome and with openchrome) * https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary?arch=i586&filename=xorg-x11-driver-video-openchrome-0.2.904_101024-3.1.i586.rpm&package=xorg-x11-driver-video-openchrome&project=X11%3ADrivers%3AVideo&repository=openSUSE_12.1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe one should ask them if or when they release an official release again with all their fixes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I do not know whether other problems will occur, but this reported bug seems to be fixed in openchrome from trunk. I have not found a new version of unichrome yet to install manually. Unichrome at sourceforge seems to be abandonned some years ago, indeed. --- * I had not even known about dev-deps before (xorg-...-sdk, libdrm, & then in make-process mesa), but other problems did not occur with svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome cd openchrome ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make checkinstall (not true: version (3) has to be changed, as 0.2.904 is given three times and this 'tag' confuses checkinstall - but that's it) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The priority loading the possible drivers is: 1) via (if someone installs some binary blob from VIA it is number one) 2) openchrome (if someone installs this driver manually it is preferred) 3) unichrome (installed by default) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have also found this problem with a HP 2133 mini. I have found a newer driver version from OpenSUSEFactory with the release 3.37 But the problem persists.

1. The VIA GPU on this HP netbook has never been supported by the unichrome driver. 2. Release 3.37? This must be a complete different driver. Version/release of unichrome driver in our buildservice is 20110523-17.1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hence the issue won't be fixed for this product. In case the issue still is reproducable with a supported product (openSUSE 12.3/13.1 at the moment) or with openSUSE:Factory, please feel free to reopen.
