After updating to kernel 4.5.1 the X-server does not start.
When I downgrade to kernel 4.4.5 all is fine again.
I have attached two logfiles for the two kernel versions. Please let me know if I can help with anything. -- Torsten. |

Please get in touch with openchrome upstream devs.

I have been in contact with the driver developer @freedesktop.org and already compiled and tested the version (but not from the testing repo).
The problem was not the driver, but the kernel-module viafb.ko claiming the same memory as the via Xorg driver. I resolved this by adding kernel Parameters: "video=vesa:off vga=normal"
