Uh?  Where's your drm and via kernel module?  Didn't you build the 
drm modules from source?  If you did, then make sure that these 
modules get loaded early during boot, before X starts, by adding 
their names to /etc/modules.

This is what the output of the dmesg grep should look like 
(it's better to paste short outputs into the mail, it makes 
for much easier quoting and commenting):

$ dmesg | grep -e agp -e drm

But first do an 'svn up' in your openchrome dir and build and 
install the driver again.
