@BadBoy, since Bryce created a package with the patch it's now sufficient if you download and install the updated DEBs.

Basically you can do:
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/bryceharrington/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu1.1~bug367442~1_i386.deb
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/bryceharrington/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/xserver-xorg-video-via_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu1.1~bug367442~1_i386.deb

Followed by:
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu1.1~bug367442~1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-via_0.2.903+svn713-1ubuntu1.1~bug367442~1_i386.deb

Once you have done this, try to start X again and finally re-run the log file collection command so we can see how it went:
apport-collect 367442

It should be possible to do all these steps straight from the live CD and if you're lucky and the upstream dev was right then you might be able to run the apport-collect command from a terminal inside a a running X.org
