Any Idea what I may be doing wrong?

Sorry, I did mean via_drv.so. If you've built the driver from SVN - the 
driver itself, not the DRM kernel modules - you should have another one, 
probably somewhere like ~/openchrome/trunk/unichrome. If you don't, 
follow the installation instructions at 
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Compiling+the+source+code#For_Xorg_7_0_or_later 
again.

Once you have built it, say in ~/openchrome/trunk/unichrome, try:
   cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
   mv via_drv.so via_drv.so.orig
   cd ~/openchrome/trunk/unichrome
   cp via_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

and edit your xorg.conf to remove the ModulePath entry.

Cheers,

John.
