Bug Description
17.04 Beta 2 (Zesty Zapus) amd64
Via PM800 chipset (S3 UniChrome Pro)
Xorg.0.log:
[ 25.194] (EE) CHROME(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: No such file or directory
…
[ 25.469] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
ls /dev/dri/card0
ls: cannot access '/dev/dri/card0': No such file or directory
ls /lib/modules/
ls: cannot access '/lib/modules/
No DRM so no acceleration with Openchrome. This will make me and other Ubuntu 17.04 users with Via hardware sad (I'm guessing there's at least five of us). Makes for an annoying Ubuntu experience when browsing the web at nearly slide-show speeds while trying to find the correct drivers for our Nvidia and AMD cards.

Not sure if it matters for the DRM module but Openchrome 0.6 has been released: https:/
