Hello Harel,

perhaps you can update the driver using the third-party Xorg »edgers«
driver repository. It’s a so-called PPA (personal package archive). I
guess the Openchrome driver in there does not depend on a more recent
Xorg, so install without dependency error. I can’t check. But you’ll see
if it installs.


To add the additional »Software Source« for »Xorg Edgers / drivers only« use 
this command:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only

And then run a package update in the command line:

  sudo apt-get update 
  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

Before you enter »Yes« you should look at what it proposes to install.
You want to pull in the newer OpenChrome driver. It should only install
that one package and maybe some necessary dependency.

Afterwards you can disable this PPA source in the »Software Sources«
dialog.

Then reboot without an xorg.conf at /etc/X11/cong.conf. This is to test if it 
magically recognizes your monitor again.
If that didn’t work then the newer driver didn’t help and you should use the 
manual config using Nelsson’s xorg.conf.

Perhaps the option that Bartosz mentioned helps. I don’t know this
driver and its options.
