I wasn't aware of snapshot, but I searched for previous version of openchrome which is svn827 (according to
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.904+svn842-1/changelog) and found a deb file of this version somewhere and installed it and indeed X now starts ok, although I do get random freezes after using it for some time - so I believe I have two different problems. After getting X back, I've got from svn the sources at version 827 and setup environment to compile the driver and I'm now ready to try one version after another. I have only one computer so I cannot do it full time, as I'm using it also for other stuff. I'll report when I find which commit causes the freezes upon X startup.

First things first: does reverting to the previous openchrome version
actually makes X start again properly? What is that version? You can
find it back on <http://snapshot.debian.org/>.
