[Unichrome-devel] Re: [Unichrome-users] Good news regarding SK43G (KM400/CH7011)

[Simon B. <sbb...@ho...>]

Fantastic news Philip.  How did you find out it was CH7011?

An lspci on my SK43G only says :
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 
UniChrome] Integrated Video (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: Holco Enterprise Co, Ltd/Shuttle Computer: Unknown device 
f643
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10
        Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [70] AGP version 2.0

and X says :
(WW) VIA(0): This device is supposed to have a TV encoder but we are unable 
to detect it (support missing?).


Apart from really needing my s-video to work, I'd like to understand more. 
Can you point me at anything I can read?

..how's the patch coming along??

:)
