Works for me, we actually already have something similar in
getltscfg-cluster (yeah I know it's not the right place but we didn't
have screen-session.d back then) that would in the end have been moved
as a screen-session.d script either upstream or at least for our customers:

# Fix AMD Geode GX2 support, will probably break the other GX2 chips though
    if [ "$vendor" = "4107" ]
    then
(
cat << 'EOF'
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "geode"
    Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
EndSection
EOF
) > /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    fi

Ok, I know it really sucks, it applies to way too many chipsets
(basically all of AMD's) but we only have one Geode GX2 chipset at our
customers so ...

The AccelMethod "XAA" may not be required anymore but at least in Ubuntu
it used to crash X in some corner cases when using EXA (would need to
test that again).
