Open3D is gone but not for some PowerStorm graphics boards:

I didn't know exactly what kind of graphics board I have in my
PWS 500au but, judging by its length, it might just be a
PowerStorm. So I tried the two kits on the web page. The first
one crashed my kernel but the second one works just fine and I'm
back at 1280x1024.
So I have a PowerStorm 4DxxT. Just a clue to detect if you have
one, it prints CL-GD543x in the VGA BIOS display.
