Comment(by valhalla):
The workaround I use is to open a terminal /var/log/Xorg.0.log: near the
beginning it lists the configuration that has been autodetected and it is
using; I copy that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove the sections and lines
related to openchrome. I have attached the resulting xorg.conf, so that it
could be easily downloaded in place. This also works around
[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475896 fedora bug 475896]
that is giving me a wrong screen resolution, but is probably slower, since
it uses the vesa driver.
An alternative that works around this bug is to add the SWCursor option to
the openchrome section of the configuration found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
as in the [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=336261 xorg.conf
attached to upstream bug].
