Very nice! It works!

It is still painfully slow though, compared to the 0.2.x version. It is
on the limit of usable but I do have high requirements for "usable".

The regression I previously reported are still there:
http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-devel/2011-September/000578.html

I did noticed, that this happens only when I have compositing enabled
in XFCE. If I disable compositing it works.

I also wonder if it would be an idea to get the kernel part into
staging area in kernel. Then it might be possible to push it out for
testing earlier. If not, is it easy to backport it to some of the
current kernels?

Thanks!
