And the other problem you will have is that we have ripped all the support out for older versions of Xorg. I remember tagging a branch as pre_1.3_support or something, but I think I did that before adding any chipsets support for chrome9. Ultimately I think it would be less work to port your application to Centos 5, than update our driver. You may also want to look at running it in a VM of some sort.
