Got the Wrong email address...sorry.

Im not sure whats different this time, but the server is running...theres j=
ust nothing on the lcd :(
the backlight is on.
Used this hint From: Phil DeBecker

 Both the xorg and unichrome drivers require patching in order to
 enable the LCD.  The patch basically is to change via_bios.h and
 reverse the defines for VIA_DEVICE_LCD and VIA_DEVICE_CRT1, and to
 change the line that reads
=20
 tmp =3D VIA_DEVICE_CRT1; /* Default assume color CRT attached */
 to=20
 tmp =3D VIA_DEVICE_LCD;
=20
 in xorg this is in via_bios.c, in CVS unichrome it"s via_mode.c. =20

Still wondering why it worked in debian...
