After a bit of googling, I've found the offical docs on the AMD website:

http://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/TechnicalResources/0,,50_2334_2496_9919,00.html

You'll need a registration, but that's it. There's an AMD Geode SC1200/1201
Processor Data Book with full description of the video registers. Now,
if I'd only would understand why the code is poking around in reserved
registers - but probably I just don't understand what's going on there
or the video registers are mapped into another region.

Puzzled,
Uli
