As requested by Bartosz and our private correspondence I did the following. Quoting a mail to Bartosz.

" Thanks for your efforts. Please give me time till week end to try Jaunty. In the meanwhile this is my experience with Ubuntu 8.04 and openchrome latest trunk (last weeks.) I followed the instruction in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome and installed openchrome in NC20. It went well. I could see a better display - basically the fonts looked better on their edges. But  I am facing following problems after installing latest openchrome.

1) When screen saver starts up and after a while the screen becomes very dark. There is no way I could get usable brightness. Fortunately it is sufficiently bright to click shutdown and restart the machine if the ambient light permits.
2) When I play a movie with totem and click the menu items, they go behind the movie playing. So I can not select the menu items.
3) When I play a broken or incomplete movie totem freezes and keyboard does not respond. Not even CAPS key. I had to reboot. I tried to reproduce the problem. I then changed the xorg.conf and removed the entries for openchrome. After reboot the above problems are not seen anymore.

Please let me know if i should indeed install Jaunty to try this. If so, I will require a weeks time. Any other tests that I can do on 8.04 can be done immediately. Thanks very much for your contributions :-)"

Bartosz replied :
"Please attach Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf from Hardy and Openchrome trunk"

Please see my xorg.conf and xorg.0.log after I reverted the changes made to xorg.conf (deleted lines for openchrome)
