Xorg.log of a try to start X11 with openchrome in Ubuntu 13.10/saucy

This is an upstream report for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1251849 .

I'm using a Samsung NC20 since a couple of years now. It has never been easy with X11 but with Ubuntu 13.10/saucy it has become an export issue to get this netbook running.

Notice that this is a regression from Ubuntu 13.04/raring where openchrome was worked more or less flawless.

With 13.10 however, X11 bails out and even the console is not usable afterwards.
Comment 1 Thomas Schlichter 2013-11-16 18:27:50 UTC
The problem in Ubuntu 13.10/saucy is an incompatibility with X.org 1.14 that was fixed upstream with this commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/commit/?id=17973712f083100cc041d50fca30e248846e5fd2

So openchrome versions beginning with 0.3.2 should work. You could verify this by using the original Debian sid package from here:
http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

Or simply by using the openchrome package from my Ubuntu PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~bigboss77/+archive/ppa

I'll also comment regardingly in your Ubuntu bug if above fixes your Problem.

Kind regards,
  Thomas
