openchrome 0.2.902 (08/04/2008)
-------------------------------
* Enhancements and bug fixes:
- libpciaccess support.
- Fix Xv on LCD for VM800/CN700/P4M800pro.
- Fix P4M900 fifo setting.
- Various code clean up.
* New boards:

(aka Everex Cloudbook CE1200V), VIA Epia SN.
* Notes:
- The "HWCursor" option has been removed. Hardware-accelerated cursor is on by
default, so this option was useless. Use the "SWCursor" option if you want to
disable HW cursor.
- AGPDMA has been disabled for K8M800 and VM800/CN700/P4M800pro in this release
because it causes screen repaint and lockup issues. The problem has been
tracked down to a bug in kernel drm. All kernel >= 2.6.22 are affected. This
bug will be fixed in the upcoming 2.6.25-rc7. It is also fixed in current
drm git tree. If you're using one of the affected kernels, you'll have to
either keep AGPDMA disabled or build the modules from the fixed drm git
tree. This option brings extra performance for some operations. To use it,
add 'Option "EnableAGPDMA"' in the Device section of the xorg configuration.
