More info:

I've just tried grep openchrome /var/log/Xorg.0.log and got:

(II) LoadModule: "openchrome"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//openchrome_drv.so
(II) Module openchrome: vendor="http://openchrome.org"
(!!) For support, refer to http://openchrome.org/.

So the drivers are being used, yes? So why is the highest resoluton
available 800x600?? FFS...

The X output shows that the OpenChrome driver is loaded and working. The
problem is that the monitor is *not* configured, and X is using a "default
monitor" with low capabilities. Configure your monitor and restart the X
session.

To configure the monitor in ubuntu, on the main menu, go to System >
Preferences > Monitors (or something similar).

Regards.

Thanks. I tried that but the monitor is "unknown" and it won't detect
it.

You might need to manually configure your resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Ubuntu tries to figure everything out automatically when X11 fires up but
this doesn't always work.

Maybe you just need to add lines like these two to the Monitor section in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0

Adapted for your own monitor's capabilities of course.
