Bug Description
* Impact:
- the driver doesn't work with the X.org version in 13.10
* Test case:
- try using 13.10 on a machine needing the openchrome driver (a samsung nc20 for example
* regression potential:
- check that xorg sessions work as they should. The patches have received testing in Debian/Trusty and upstream, so presumably should be fairly safe. The number of people using openchrome is relatively small compared to the main X drivers, so the scope of risk is rather small here.
-------
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.
