On a VIA EPIA MII, using openchrome driver does not work.
Symptoms:
- Produces no picture at all (with my screen occasionally going to power save and on again seemingly for no reason) OR
- Produces a garbled picture with something like a cursor blinking on an interlaced ubuntu-brown and black screen
Tested systems:
- Mythbuntu Live CD
- Mythbuntu Live USB
- Ubuntu installed on HD from alternate, with latest updates
Going to a terminal works with the first symptom. Switching back does not help.
Going to a terminal does not work with the second symptom.
I have no clue what causes the two different symptoms.
The rest of the system is stable, i.e. I can SSH in.
