I find your post very confusing and have a hard time to make sense of it.

*When you write TS 2.2.2 do you mean it literately? Not 2.2.2b/c/d?
*If so if don't understand your talk about unichrome as this isn't in
plain 2.2.2.
*If not so I don't understand your claim that unichrome supports
CN896. There is no mention of a CN896 in the unichrome included in
2.2.2d
*Then you write "but when activating xorg6-via only X does not start
anymore (no card could be detected)" ??? But xorg6-via is NOT
xorg6-unichrome but the legacy via driver that's guaranteed not to
support any CN chip sets.
*"Is the xorg-via driver up to date?" Up to date with Xorg 6.9 in TS
2.2.2<any> - yes. But that's old anyway...

TS 2.2.2d and 2.3SVN have two completely different X versions and
drivers. I think you are mixing things here. Also I suspect you
confuse unichrome with openchrome?

Sorry not be be more helpful than this, but too many unknown unknowns
as they put it in the aircraft industry :-)
