Ok, so this is what I understand. I am new to the bug tracking
process in Ubuntu. Please bear with me if I sound quite
naive :-)

Jaunty has openchrome:713 in it and they may or may not upgrade
to 737 in Jaunty. The changes required to support NC20 is added
in 737 and later which will go into a future releases of Ubuntu
and may be Jaunty too. So, if I want to use openchrome with
Jaunty, in the meanwhile, I should follow the procedure
described in links you suggested which basically means getting
the a version of openchrome later than 737. Fair enough. I will
upgrade to Jaunty when I get some time. Thanks very much.

But for a new user, this is a hurdle to install Jaunty. The
installation program could use a default usable display
(driver "vesa") which may not be the best for NC20 (i.e.
openchrome 737 or later). Somehow this is done in Ubuntu 8.04
and the installation has no problem although the display is not
very good. That is fine. I believe that if no suitable display
driver is available, there should be a default scheme which
works in any case. This may not be implemented correctly in
Jaunty. Could you please correct this until a stable openchrome
goes into Jaunty.

 May be then this is not an openchrome issue, but an xorg or
installation script issue.
