>Description:
When trying to install xorg on the AsRock PV530-ITX computer with VIA VX900 chipset, it turned out that version of the xf86-video-openchrome driver in the
ports is too old (version 0.2.904, more than three years old!) to recognize this chipset.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just look in the port's Makefile and you'll see 0.2.904 there.
>Fix:
Bumping version to the 0.2.906 and removing unnecessary patches (they are already incorporated in 0.2.905 and later) resolved the problem: port builds and installs flawlessly, driver correctly recognizes the chipset and works almost perfectly (except drm/dri, which is perhaps a separate issue). I didn't try later versions (0.3.x) of the driver.
