 Openchrome driver, version 0.2.903 (older releases weren't tested) freezes
 the hardware in several seconds while trying to use it on X.Org 7.4 system
 with K8N800 video card. The symptoms are very similar to lockups caused by
 buggy DRI driver but they are not the same (at least, you can work for
 some seconds) and certainly not caused by DRI driver - it is explicitly
 disabled on my system (to be 100% confident, I've even removed it from the
 hard-disk - this wouldn't help). The bug can be worked around if you a)
 disable acceleration completely (Option "NoAccel" "On") or b) enable EXA
 acceleration instead of XAA (Option "AccelMethod" "EXA") for openchrome
 driver. Both are damn slow but work fine. I'm using vanilla Arch Linux
 current system and tried to compile driver from source with no luck.

 I doubt the information I placed here would be enough so I'll happily
 provide any further data requested.
