How?  Did you follow the "Modular driver build" on this page?:
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Compiling+the+source+code

According to this page it should work:
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=HardwareCaveats

So if you install the driver correctly, and use it, it should work.

Correct.

"Did not work."  _What did not work?  What did not happen?  What did 
happen.  What did you see?  What messages were printed?

Please don't use other articles; use just what's written on 
openchrome.org.  Things are changing now and then, and are confusing 
enough already.

That looks like the normal output, although it is just the final 
fragment of it.

Openchrome is not a kernel module, so lsmod has nothing to do with 
it.  To see whether you have the required kernel modules loaded, 
show us the output of  'dmesg | grep -e agp -e drm'.

Remove this line.

Set this to "openchrome", then post a gzipped Xorg.0.log.
