Dear BadBoy,

Upstream developers have indicated that this upstream commit might fix your issue:
http://www.openchrome.org/trac/changeset/738

It would be great to hear if this change works on your machine.

To test the patch you need to do something like:
1. Create an empty directory
2. run "apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-openchrome"
3. run "apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome"
4. cd into the actual package directory
5. apply the patch / do the changes to the source code
6. run "debuild -us -uc -b" to compile the driver and build a .DEB
7. do "cd .." and then do "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" to install the updated driver

Also, to revert back to the original jaunty driver you can probably do:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/jaunty
