I recently noticed that the Saucy Hardware Enablement Stack had been added to the Precise daily builds so I tested Ubuntu Precise i386 20140118 and not surprisingly it has the same problem as Saucy with the P4M800 chips.
I personally prefer using the archived Ubuntu 12.04.1 i386 images because the original kernel and X-stack will be supported until April 2017 at which point these graphics chips will be 9 to 10 years old: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/ And another advantage of using the Ubuntu images is that they include Unity-2D as a fallback or if you prefer more of an older desktop paradigm you can follow this procedure: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966370 That should hopefully satisfy many of the Win XP converts :^) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205643 Title: VIA P4M800 graphics broken in Lubuntu/Xubuntu Saucy & 12.04.4 candidate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1205643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
