It turns out I had actually built an openchrome driver some time ago
(I have to look at my Launchpad email to determine the date) in order
to deal with this or a related problem.
At any rate, I downloaded the current sources from the OpenChrome
server, copied in the patched via_driver.c file, and built and
installed the driver. On restarting the system, it hung while getting
to the login screen, with the top half of the screen overwritten.
Fortunately, I also have Debian Lenny on this system - to which I had
built and installed the same driver - and was able to access my Ubuntu
/etc/rc2.d directory and disable the Snngdm symlink, and restart
Ubuntu into a shell, so I could reverse the patch and rebuild and
install the driver.
So that's where I stand now. Perhaps there was some necessary
modification to xorg.conf that I omitted? At any rate, I already had
been using an openchrome driver.
