drm-openchrome is the kernel tree where the via drm module is being 
enhanced for KMS (kernel mode setting) support.

Not sure if there is any naming convention for such a thing with Arch, 
but it seems to describe the content of the package well, so I'd say go 
for it.
It makes me wonder if we could make the changes to drm-openchrome 
self-contained enough to allow to just replace the via.ko file from a 
distribution's kernel. I'd need to talk with James about that, at least 
some of the changes outside of drivers/gpu/drm/via would need to be 
upstreamed first and also some stuff tweaked into drivers/gpu/drm/via.
I should have a patch with a start for this around, I'll look for it.

Sorry for the late reply, I was sick for a couple days and let us know 
how it goes.
