[P4M890] Ubuntu 9.10 unstable (switching to console, suspend)

[Francesco Potortì]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

Version 0.2.903+svn713 distributed with Karmic 9.10 is unstable for the VIA P4M890 chip. Switching to console and back to X blanks the screen. Resuming from suspend blanks the screen. The screen get randomly corrupted. Often the screen blanks as soon as X starts. As an added bonus, the electricsheep screensaver doesnopt work in full screen,, but only in the upper left corner.

I solved these problems by downgrading to 0.2.903+svn758-0ubuntu1.
