I'm trying to get X11 (of any type) running on an EPIA EN-15000G:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=399

I don't need MPEG decoding, or hardware accelleration (though that'd be 
nice), but I'd like to be able to run X on the console at 1600x1200x24bit...

The native X doesn't recognize the chipset.
The pkgsrc modular-xorg xf86-video-via doesn't recognize the chipset
The 'safer' drivers at: http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/
	don't support the chipset.
The bleeding-edge drivers at:
     svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome
cause the machine to lockup hard.

I don't mind tinkering about to see if I can solve this, but I'd need 
some pointers on how I might start debugging this, since I can't even 
break into ddb via the serial port after the lockup.


Thanks,

Robert
