hmm no ..doesn't help here.

yeah.. that seems to work but is unusable. thanks anyway

I tried disabling certain acceleration features already, but it didn't
really improve things. Other than slowing everything down. I don't
really know anything about graphics hardware though, so most were just
shots in the dark.

I'm not really sure if this really has something todo with accell,
because if I start X first with unichrome then with openchrome it's
working correctly too.
Perhaps it's some initialization thing. Although the log doesn't show
any major difference differences between using openchrome before or
after unichrome.
