Help with Video Driver

[Macario Valle]

All,
Recently my motherboard fried.  I went ahead and bought one of those
cheap, MSI Motherboard.  I figured, for what I do, no problem.  Anyways,
the model is K8M890M2-V with an AMD 64 processor.  Everything works
great after reconfiguring X.  That is, but the Video board, K8M890
Chrome 9 integrated, i believe.  It gets detected as generic Vesa.  I
have tried compiling the
cn_cx700-cn800xorg40071-kernel-src_20061107a.tgz.  i managed to compile
it, but when i restart X, all goes to hell in a hand basket.  So
needless to say I backtraked to good old Vesa.  I just found out about
the OpenChrome drives, and wanted to know if anybody has tried it.

i have been following the procedure to compile the drivers, but i am not
an expert.  
Any help, suggestions, wild guesses are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
