Gimme just a hand on this so I can understand a bit of the scenario: so there's someone developing a driver (Openchrome), is it the same I am using now?

Code:

harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for harry:
root@harry-Latitude-XT2:~# lshw -c video

Will supply what version OpenChrome you are running presently.  ( Edit: Maybe not. Just read where unsupported chips and drivers may not show a version number)

Note: This does not work in every case!
For a SiS 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter, there is no "Kernel driver in use" line:

Might have to use sysinfo instead.

Code:

harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ sysinfo
The program 'sysinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install sysinfo
harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$

Being older unsupported gear though. Like Via, Sis, and Savage chips. One has a lot of hoop jumping to go through.
it took me days and weeks to learn on how Xorg and The developer for SIS,VIA,Savage drivers don't even communicate and how Xorg just breaks driver compatibility.

I was just educating you on what you have. I'd roll with SMTube or MiniTube like Jerry suggested and call it day myself.
