It mainly fixes a crash at startup with X server 1.13. openchrome 0.3.0 (20/07/2012) ----------------------------- The 0.3.0 release is a major step forward for the openchrome X.org driver. It brings most of the features that are needed with todays X server. The code has seen a major overhaul, with a lot of new features and a lot of cleanup. It has been tested on most of the available VIA IGPs and we believe there are no regression at this point. However, the testing was done on a limited range of hardware, so your mileage may vary. Please let us know if you have any trouble using it. * New Features : - TTM/GEM support. - KMS support. - Better RandR support. - XAA removal. - DGA removal. - Support for X server 1.13 API. - Code cleanup and bug fixes. * Known bugs and limitations : - Dual screen is not fully working. - EXA compositing is disabled. - KMS-enabled DRM module is not in upstream kernel yet. Starting with the 0.3.0 release, please submit bugs and patches to freedesktop.org bug tracker. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg&component=Driver/openchrome The old ticket tracker is kept as a reference only.

Hardware-accelerated cursor is on by default, so this option was useless. Use the "SWCursor" option if you want to disable HW cursor. - AGPDMA has been disabled for K8M800 and VM800/CN700/P4M800pro in this release because it causes screen repaint and lockup issues. The problem has been tracked down to a bug in kernel drm. All kernel >= 2.6.22 are affected. This bug will be fixed in the upcoming 2.6.25-rc7. It is also fixed in current drm git tree. If you're using one of the affected kernels, you'll have to either keep AGPDMA disabled or build the modules from the fixed drm git tree. This option brings extra performance for some operations. To use it, add 'Option "EnableAGPDMA"' in the Device section of the xorg configuration. openchrome 0.2.901 (02/01/2008) ------------------------------- * Enhancements : - New pci ids : FIC CE260, Hasee F700C, MSI P4M900M / P4M900M2-F/L, PCChips V21G, Biostar P4M900M-M7 SE. - Identify the driver as Openchrome, with CHROME as a shorthand. - Report chipset too in case of an unknown card id. - Improve P4M890 memory detection. - Add VT1625 720x480Under, 720x480Fit and 720x480Over NTSC modes. - Add VT1625 720x576 PAL mode. * Fixes : - Panel on CX700 needs VBE. - K8M890 can use DDR667. - Never enable IRQ on KM400, KM400A owner will still need to enable manually. - Various code cleanups. openchrome 0.2.900 (20/10/2007) ------------------------------- - First openchrome official release.
