The return of Averatec 3200 video problems

(0 votes, average 0 out of 5)
A while back I made an article on how to deal with video problems on Averatec 3200 starting from (x)buntu 7.04, or more acurately any distribution with xorg-server > 1.2.0.  That time the fix was as simple as editing your xorg.conf file.  However, after yet another major change in the way xorg-server operates since 1.6.0 that won't work anymore: X will crash with
(EE) CHROME(0): No valid modes found
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
 
Fatal server error:
no screens found

This time you absolutely have to recompile the faulty driver.  Fortunately, the procedure is not difficult:
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome
cd openchrome*/src
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24709429/km400_panel.patch
patch -p1 < km400_panel.patch
cd ..
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

 

This can be done after you install or upgrade your distro.  If you want to access graphical install from a live CD, as long as you have enough RAM to accomodate this temporary installation.
