Can you test the latest driver in git?... What model is your motherboard? bug #1554004 fixed problem in other chips VX900, P4M400 ...

Instructions to install latest driver:

In order to download OpenChrome master branch code, you need to have Git installed.

$ sudo apt-get install git

Also, the dependent packages for OpenChrome need to be installed as well.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

Please note that, at least in Ubuntu, the package for OpenChrome is called xserver-xorg-video-openchrome, not xf86-video-openchrome.
Now clone the OpenChrome repository to your local computer storage device.

$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome

After you finished cloning the OpenChrome repository, enter the resulting directory.

$ cd xf86-video-openchrome

2) Compiling OpenChrome (debug build)

Before you can compile the code, the compilation and other scripts need to be generated.

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug --enable-viaregtool

"--enable-viaregtool" instructs "make" to generate via_regs_dump under xf86-video-openchrome/tools.
If there were no errors, OpenChrome can now be compiled.

$ make

If OpenChrome compiles without errors, you are now ready to install OpenChrome.

Install OpenChrome.

$ sudo make install
