Ok, short answer: yes and no. Full story:
I've updated my copy of the openchrome source to svn revision 817. I ran './configure --enable-debug --prefix=/usr' and then proceeded with make. I uninstalled the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package and installed the self-built openchrome driver with checkinstall. Then the machine was rebooted. Things that worked before still worked, so I could log in to my desktop with GDM. I suspended the machine, resumed it and logged out. I got the, to me, familiar black screen instead of the GDM login screen. The corresponding Xorg.0.log file is attached as Xorg.0.log.before. Then it hit me that I did not, as requested, put in the Option "ModeSwitch" "new" in the xorg.conf file. I went to a console and logged in, added the necessary Option line to the Device section and did a 'sudo restart gdm'. Amazingly, life got back into my dead login screen: the backlight turned on and I could see, well, colors. I've attached a picture I took with my camera of the screen so show what I mean (gdm_restart.jpg). The corresponding log file is attached as Xorg.0.log.after. So, this Option does make a big difference. Unfortunately the display is unreadable. I then rebooted the machine to report on this issue here, but unfortunately I could log in at all anymore, since the login screen was garbled and mostly black. I made a picture of this as well (gdm_boot.jpg). I couldn't even get to a console anymore, and had to reboot in single mode to comment out the Option "ModeSwitch" "new" line in xorg.conf. After a reboot, everything is back to the way they were. Thank you for your continuing effort!
