[Unichrome-users] No blank screens on K8N800 either, but... ;)

[<py...@lo...>]

Hi,

I just thought, that... maybe I could help in some way to make K8M/K8N800 
work... I know You do not have hardware to test the driver (at least so far, 
I've sent some e-mails to acer with my suggestions, only response I got was, 
that Polish Acer Support forwarded my message to their headquarters, since 
They cannot make such a decision. No other response so far. My only hope for 
their cooperation is that they placed in the manual information that Aspire 
1362 can work with linux).

Well, I have Acer Aspire 1362, it's K8N800. Indeed, I do not have blank 
screens either, but (using recent cvs unichrome driver) screen looks as if 
sync was out of range on an old display(like a very old tv-set having lost 
sync). I did not find any reasonable modeline that would help. I guess screen 
parameters set in xorg.conf are fine since vesa driver has no problem with 
it. 

Does anyone have any suggestions what could I do to try to adjust it(in the 
config as well as where to play in the source code, is i possible that some 
registers could be written with incorrect values, how could I try to find 
propper ones, for example how could I check what is the difference between 
windows driver and this one in this matter?) 

At the moment on the screen I can see 6 mouse cursors (actually they are 
pieces of 3 cursors, 3 tops and 3 buttoms), and picture is very "shaky" (some 
stripes and bars of disordered picture, blinking/swapping with frequency 
around 10Hz or so).

I'm using kernel 2.6.10, Xorg 6.8.2RC2, unichrome cvs downloaded 2 day ago.
