I have experienced all the problems with the wireless connection on my
HP2133 as described in this thread since installing 9.04 (from scratch).

Following the advice in this thread, I have installed the patch
(xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu2~ppa3_i386.deb),
but I cannot find the src/via_lvds.c file. I've searched for via_lvds.c
using sudo nautilus, I never installed openchrome as a screen driver,
and adding the line driver "vesa" to xorg.conf causes malfunctioning of
the display even before logon. (I booted from a Live-USB stick to put
this right again.)

My HP2133 runs Vista Home Basic &  9.04, it has 2GB of RAM, a 160 GB
disk with several partitions, 1024x600 screen resolution and the
wireless card has the Broadcom 4312 chip. WLAN used to be ok on 8.04 and
it also works in Vista (came with the machine, now dual-booting).

Since a while the screen has developed a new feature, viz. upon
minimizing a window, it 'zooms' to the edge displaying black wire-frames
diminishing in size. I didn't set this, it just started doing it. Maybe
this gives away which screen driver is actually in use.

If output from particular commands is needed to describe the situation,
I think I can manage that. I just don't know what information is needed.

So, is it normal that I don't have the via_lvds.c file?
Do I need to install openchrome to have this file?
(The patch ran fine, though, as far as I know. No experience with installing patches here, though. Hey presto, it just ran and seemed to do what it is supposed to!)
