Success report - running a HP 2133 (Mini Note). (Model KX869AT)

From lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01)

I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 8.10 and noticed that these functions:
"Suspend"
"Hibernate"
"Lock Screen"
"Log Out"
changing from X display to a VTY with CTRL-ALT-F1
or allowing the screensaver to kick-in
Would cause the Xserver to segfault and log the following message:"
[ 5032.490431] Xorg[5194]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000 sp bffc5c2c error 4 in Xorg[8048000+18f000]

I thought it might be related to this bug so I followed the instructions posted above ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome ) and pulled version 697 from openchrome SVN.

I'm very glad to report that it all works now. Screensaver and logging out and suspending - no segfaults on the Xserver now. While I didn't have the same issues with gdm or the mouse cursor, whatever changed solved my issues too. Hope this is helpful.

I will test .deb files as they become available.
