Comment 4 for bug 96428

I changed "vesa" to "via" in xorg.conf and it did not work.
I was not able to test different resolutions & color-depth, because i had no text-console in this live CD.

I use the "openchrome" (kernel+xorg)Driver in kubuntu 6.06 and it is very stable. playing videos and using 3D accel. is a bit tricky but works.
