There is a page in the wiki and even a link to ubuntu specific instructions at its bottom : http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Compiling+the+source+code
The VIA source code is here : http://linux.via.com.tw/support/beginDownload.action?eleid=17&fid=381 The file you need to look at is xf86-video-via-83.1.0/via_dvi.c The code is pure C. Oh, and sorry, the add-on TMDS encoder is VT1632 not VT1636. I'm adding back openchrome-users to the CC: list, this is probably of interest for more than only you.
