You're doing it for free, and I've been keeping track of the truckload of changes you've been comitting to OpenChrome. I have to say I'm pretty glad you got the time, interest *and* technical skills to help so thoroughly with this project. Thank you for all you (and everyone else) have been doing for this hardware. Believe it or not, this video card is quite widespread around (because it's so cheap) and it's sad to see Linux having so many issues with it.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2761"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2762"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2796">There are less issues now, thanks to your work (and the other contributors' too).

It's not with anyone I'm in touch with either (it's been donated), so I can't contact anyone to test it.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2762"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2762">The good news is that, as soon as I "committed" my changes (attached to this bug) and rebuilt the driver, it worked flawlessly and automagically. No quirky Xorg settings, nothing. So it seems that it was *really* just a matter of adding it to the device table. My hardware id is strictly the same as the one in the new bug you mentioned. I know testing it would be the perfect solution, but there's little theoretical difference between our cases - the solution for the new bug should "solve" my problem as well.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2762"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2762" dir="ltr">I'm glad you're trying to make the driver less table-dependent.

        <pre id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455638327542_2646">Just to let you know, OpenChrome project has been without a maintainer for many
months.
This is why you did not get a response.
I recently obtained a commit privilege, and have already made several commits.

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/">https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/</a>

I also wrote a detailed instructions on how to compile the device driver.

It may not be necessary since you already know how to compile the device
driver, but just included the location of it for your reference.
I can say that your bug appears similar to a newer bug that got reported
recently.

<a rel="nofollow" class="yiv2757932415bz_bug_link           yiv2757932415bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Unknown Card-Ids (3371|1019|2125), Chipset: P4M900/VN896/CN896" target="_blank" href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94130">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94130</a>

It will be nice if you can try the latest OpenChrome master branch code without
your LCD related workaround, in order to see what happens.
In general, I am inclined to reduce the usage of the predefined device table
moving forward.</pre>
