Indeed none of my thin-clients with VIA-graphics currently works with Debian and openchrome, but this particular mobile thin-client is a special case, because of the term 'mobile'. It means, that is resembles a notebook, and thus the openchrome-driver needs to use the LVDS digital output, which is connected to the integrated LCD-screen. The other VIA-thin-clients work fine as nano-servers, graphic-output is dispensable, but neoware m100 should probably be used as a mobile-thin-client, because it has an integrated LCD-screen. Unfortunately the memory of the device is not really upgradable, because one memory-socket is missing, and the other is connected only half-ways, one-sided. On top of this limitation, the device lacks USB2-ports, so it is badly, badly below standard, and using it is not really fun, except if you have some retro-computing interests maybe. To put it at simple terms: I will happily test the Debian-package of openchrome-driver on the device, as they come in, but compiling the driver source-code myself is clearly out of my scope in the context. I would love to help with VIA-driver development, but currently, I have other higher prioritized things to do, which promise better effectiveness and more overall-impact, so I feel investing my time there just makes more sense and is going to yield more useful, meaningful and relevant results. Cheers!
