I got a zotac box on sale with VX900 (chrome9 HD) video. I installed openchrome driver, but so far I can not make it work whatsoever. Per this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31426 , it is possible to run X using vesa, but I couldn't even use that. It looks like the HDMI/DisplayPort is not supported for VX900, but zotac box does not even have VGA port to try.
My question is: has anybody been successful running X on chrome9 video? Can you post your X config files?

I was able to run X using vesa drive. In process, I had to disable gdm and gnome (had to switch to lxdm / MATE). Here is my xconfig:

UPDATE: I was able to run X in full resolution using openchrome driver. That required me to compile the kernel, as described in "VIA Kernel" section on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Via. I am still not getting hardware acceleration
