Oh dear.

First up, it's not drm/linux-core you want in your ModulePath, it's 
wherever your shiny new via.so is, perhaps 
/home/lappy/openchrome/trunk/unichrome.

Second, if you override the built-in ModulePath with one of your own, 
you'll also have to provide the path to the rest of your installation.

Either copy your shiny new via.so over the top of your installation's 
original one, or try ModulePath 
"/home/lappy/openchrome/trunk/unichrome,/usr/lib/xorg/modules".

Cheers,

John.
