Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

I installed the Xubuntu Lucid alpha-1 on this Averatec 3280, then was able to update it with apt-get up through today. With the kernel shown below, the login screen appears shifted over 1/2 the screen width, so the X-axis origin is in the middle of the screen. On first booting, a popup appears saying "Xfce power manager" and "HAL daemon is not running". When I click on the Close button, I can log in (The login screen appears at the side of the screen, wrapping around from the right side to the left side of the screen.

Once I log in, the normal Xfce screen does not appear (it did when I first installed, before updating, but with 1600x1200 resolution, which does not work on this 1024x768 panel). Instead, a small text window appears on the upper-left of the logical screen (in this case, it's located to the right of the center of the screen).

This is somewhat similar to bug #495553 running ubuntu lucid alpha-1 on the same system, but the final effect on the display is different. Here I can't get a regular xfce display to appear, whereas under gnome ubuntu I could, but with the screen offset. Also the initial popup regarding the HAL daemon does not appear for the Gnome version of ubuntu.

I'm attaching an apport bug report file from this system.

The behavior is different with an earlier kernel - I'll append information about that later.
