You don't want an X driver but a framebuffer driver. Openchrome is the X
driver, the framebuffer driver is viafb and is included in the kernel.
Here's  a link to the doc :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.33.y.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/fb/viafb.txt;h=f3e046a6a987a685910bafc171c2cc9cf243df1b;hb=HEAD
I'm not using viafb, so I can't comment more, but hopefully, it'll get
you started.
