The weird thing about VX900 chipset hardware programming documentation is that
it contains register information for DisplayPort, but not HDMI.
I do not know how James Simmons wrote the code, if the above assumption is
true.
That being said, VIA Technologies does have a quasi-open source 2D device
driver code on their website for Chrome 9 family.

Select "Linux (current)" and VX900 chipset.
At least for the DRM module which supports KMS, it is open source.
Check out via_chrome9_hdac_renew.c where it is apparently accessing the
registers related to HDMI.</pre>
